Week 5: Rhetorical Strategies: Breif Sketch


In Trace Adkins song “You’re Gonna Miss This”, he is very clear on his purpose as well as his appeal to pathos and ethos. He is very soft and creative with the wording he uses and he is very thoughtful on who is audience is. His song is about a girl wanting to grow up to fast, and he being an adult realizes how fast time flies as your kid, as well as from his perspective in the song as being a dad. Adkin definitely knows how to grab the attention of his audience by making the lyrics from adults and teens.  Many, many people can relate to this song with out a doubt. So I hope to frame my essay just the way Adkins formed his song chronologically with a clear point. I am shooting for a clear thesis paragraph that informs my readers of what I will be discussing and what the song means.  Although Adkins is telling a story within a song I will be relating the analysis to every verse and the chorus to get a full all around grasp of what he means. I know in his third verse there is a little confusion in how he starts talking about how there is a plumber working on the water heater and how one kids running and on kids crying….so I hope I am able to explain how that came about.
