Audience: anyone and everyone involved in the Virginia Company. The leaders and the settlers of North America that were related to England, and under King Jame's authority.
Tone: Very strict and professional. King James was also very assertive when assigning this document to his people in North America.
Purpose: To inform the people of the colonies of Virginia. To inform them how to engage as a community on a daily basis. To set rules and a basis for the people to live off of. I believe that King James also wanted to assure them safety and strength to be able to carry on English living in a whole new world.
Persuasive--Ethos, Pathos & Logos
ETHOS: Because this is business and professional information, Emotion cannot be too involved. The document is quite stern and straight to the point, and does not give the audience a chance to engage on how they feel.
PATHOS: This piece of writing was written by high officials, giving the document much respect and opportunity even before knowing what the document has to say.
LOGOS: Relating to this document logically, it was beneficial for King James to enforce a basic foundation of rules and requirements to live by in North America. Having the people live in sync and in organization helped them grow in the New World so much more and stronger.
