A-The audience is both the working class and the upper class.
P-The purpose is to show the working class's rough jobs and the hardships of their work.
S-The speaker (the voice of the painting) is the working class.
Tone-Rivera shows a demanding and rough tone.
2.  The meaning of the painting is that the working class has tough, nearly back-breaking jobs that most people cannot escape.  The artist shows this in the people's feet, which are sunken into the ground, showing that they can't get away from their work.  Also, he does not give the people facial features, which shows that their identities are lost to their jobs.
