rhetorical analysis of the first charter of virginia: revision 1

The author of The First Charter of Virginia is trying to convey his message to the subjects, of the King of England, that are planning to colonize the lands in Virginia, America. The tone is that he is trying to convey what their goals are while there. The goal to create plantations, mine the area for gold, silver, and copper, and to creating trading opportunities that will better England’s economy. The main idea of this text is to communicate to the subjects that will be living in colonies what will and should happen while in Virginia. He is telling them the rules and how the colony should be ruled. The emotions of the text are that the author cares about what will happen once colonists get there and how much of the land each colony controls, so that it will better England as a country. The character of the author seems credible because of the way he speaks. It also seems as if the author knows the King and is in a position of power. It seems as if the King is telling this author what to say and the author is writing it down. The author has a very logical way of thinking because he is telling the future colonists what they must do before and after they get to Virginia. He also tells them that there will be a council to govern them in Virginia, which makes it seem like the colonists are taking control of themselves while still being led by the King. The author also states that any child that is born within a colony will get the same rights as any other Englishman that would be born in England. This seems to relate to the English's ultimate goal: to inhabit and create colonies on as much of the New World's land as possible.
