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.

The reason I choose the song “Smile” by Kirk Franklin is because it’s an inspirational song. It’s a song that’s made to keep everyone motivated; this song is something to make people work harder or want to try harder to accomplish something. At the beginning of the song Kirk says ¨I dedicate this song to recession, depression and unemployment.” In that line he is talking to the people who are at a point in their lives when they just need a break from all of the stuff they’re going through at that time.
Especially when he sings “for once in my life”, his singing becomes close to a whisper and it is long and drawn out, which leads listeners to believe that the singer is ashamed.
