Rhetorical Analysis redo

-Author
King James and a council of authors he chose seem to be the authors, though there is no clarification to exactly who it is. I also thought that it could have just been a scribe that was assigned to the council while the nobles discussed the terms of the document.
-Audience
The Audience, by the context of the writing, seems to be the Virginian colonists, as well as anyone who may live near and around these two colonies.
-Tone
The tone of the First Virginia Charter is boring, legal, serious, and nationalistic. First of all, the charter is a legal document, which in itself make it very legal and roundabout in vocabulary.Secondly, It takes on a nationalistic attitude throughout the entire document by uplifting the King and talking about how good England was.
--Vocabulary
The vocabulary is somewhat confusing because it was in old English and had multiple spelling and grammatical differences.
-Purpose and Content
The purpose was separation of the land according to King James' wishes and to convey the boundaries and regulations of the new colony.
--Main Idea/Thesis
The main idea was to tell the Virginia Colonists and the surrounding people the boundaries of the colonists’ land and what they own within that land
-Persuasion
--Ethos (Emotions)
Being a legal document, there is not a lot of emotion, although there are small amounts of emotion when it comes to the safety of the colonists, being under English control.
--Pathos (Character)
The character is authoritative as in they state the document in the name of the monarchy multiple times. It is also possessive in the terms that they speak as if the land they find is theirs.
--Logos (Logic)
The logic of the King (assuming he is the author) is that the land is “unclaimed”, as in, not owned on writing, so the throne has the right to claim it and everything on it for themselves.
