The claim in this post card is that the author doesn't have feelings towards real life tragedies. The claim isn't explicitly stated, but it is there. The author says that they "cried for Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars but not for the Tsunami victims". This could be applied to many tragedies today. People don't always feel for things the way they should, or how society expects them to. People have different ways of dealing with things, and that could be the reason why the author didn't cry for the Tsunami victims. The author could be just about anyone. Any person, whether it be a child or elderly person, man or woman, with any background could be saying this. The audience could also be any person. The audience could feel the same way as the author or the audience could be appalled that someone was capable of feeling that. The visual component isn't very strong. It doesn't draw in the reader immediately; it just shows a night sky on the top and some water on the bottom, but you can't see a wave like a tsunami.

I think the sky might have been taken from the star wars DVD cover or something. It looks really familiar to me.
I think the author would also have to be someone who is "supossed" to cry about the tsunami victims. For example, a child wouldn't be expected to understand and feel emotion, while any adult would be expected to.
