-Author
King James and a council of authors he chose
-Audience
The Colonists of Virginia
-Tone
Boring, Legal, Serious, and Nationalistic
--Vocabulary
Large vocabulary of old English with no interesting details
-Purpose and Content
Separation of the land according to King’s wishes
--Main Idea/Thesis
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, or at least that I noticed
--Pathos (Character)
Authoritative and in the name of the monarchy
--Logos (Logic)
Since the land is “unclaimed”, the throne has the right to claim it and everything on it for themselves.
