“Live Like You Were Dying.” by; Tim Mcgraw
Throughout the song “Live Like You Were Dying” it 's expressing how everyone should appreciate their life and actually get out and do things. The artists is talking about a young man who’s just found out he was dying, he spent the next few days talking about the :sweet time” and how he was gonna spend his last days. This man did not let the news of dying get to him though, once he let everything set in he really started living, he did things he probably never would have done if he hadn’t found out he didn’t have much time left in his life. He vocalizes repeatedly through the song “ someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying” because most people live the same life don’t really do anything

    As I have examined the rhetorical situation throughout the text, the author, and the audience, I have found a better understanding of the argument that Tim McGraw is trying to present. “Live Like You Were Dying” tells the story of a man in his early forties who gets the horrible news that his father has a life threatening illness. His father’s message to live life to the fullest and do the things he had wanted to do like go skydiving, mountain climbing, fishing and bull riding. He also says it made him become a better husband and friend. A important message coming from those lyrics is to make the most of the time that you are given.
