The song Wings is a song of the alternative hip hop genre produced by famous American Rap artist Macklemore. Macklemore has written and produced many songs that talk of real world issues that are facing society today. These songs discuss problems facing America in its youth and young adult age group. Macklemore uses many appeals from ethos, pathos and logos to tell his stories through his music. The song Wings in particular uses many rhetorical situations to tell the story of a young boy and his experiences with the “sneaker culture”. The use of these rhetorical situations and fallacies tells a story about not only this young boy’s life but the world of consumerism in the American culture. Macklemore, born June 19, 1983 as Benjamin Hammond
