Text: The document is a political cartoon. This cartoon is unique because it highlights a point rarely brought to light. Students used to be blamed when they performed badly or didn't do their homework. Now the blame is turning to teachers for student's mistakes or lack of motivation.
Reader: The intended audience would modern American but with parents of students in particular. I am apart of this intended audience as I am an American but I am not a parent. The author and I share commonalities in that we sympathize with the teacher and think parents and students should take responsibility for their choices.
Author: Daryl Cagle drew this text. I think he was prompted out of annoyance with how parents look to blame everyone but the student for their grades. The author possesses credentials of being a famous and successful cartoonist.
Constraints: He was born in 1956 so he grew up in the 60's. People generally believe the time they grew up in was harder then the generation after them so he is biased by the differences between the generations. The readers are all born in different periods of time. The ones who grew up in the 60's would most likely fully agree and the one's in school now would most likely be in disagreement with the point Cagle is trying to make.
Exigence: The author's most obvious reason for involvement is that he is a political cartoonist so of course he would be the one to make one. I don't know if he created this out of annoyance or because someone told him to.
