Author: The author is said to be "us" or "we". It does not state specifically who is writing.
Audience: Citizens under King James who could become interested in the new colony, Virginia.
Tone: The tone of the document is proffessional and factual (I would also like to say boring...).
Purpose: To persuade more people to colonize in Virginia.
~How is it persuasive?~
-Ethos: I saw no emotions in this document, which is why I found it difficult to read. Perhaps if they had put more emotion in it, more people would've been persuaded to colonize in Virginia. The lack of emotion made it very uninteresting. If this document were supposed to make me want to move to Virginia, I don't think I would.
-Pathos: They use a very proffessional tone, which makes it seem credible. Also, they begin with mentioning the King and his "well-disposed subjects", which adds a lot of points for credibility. But does mentioning the King's name make it more persuasive? Perhaps that depended upon whether you liked the King or not.
-Logos: They describe the land of Virginia and different things you could do, and our allowed to do, with it, and logical ways that you could make good use of it.

Hello :) Thanks for the comment on mine. Honestly, I did it right before I went to bed last night, and I had no idea what I was doig. But the discussion really helped today, so I understand it a little better now.
Yours is very good, I like the format you used. Nice and clear, gets to the pint.
I think in class we talked about how the author was Kind James and his Council/cabinent or whatever though.
Yeah, your analysis is fine. I was going to say maybe expand a little on the first questions, but then I remembered mine. I couldent expand at all, there was so little to go on. Very good job overall :)
