When I'm Gone- Eminem

Lyrics

Plot- Eminem's daughter, Hailie, is complaing to her dad about how he is always gone away from the family and how he loves rapping more than he loves her and her mom. Eminem throughout the song is trying to explain to her why he works so hard on rapping and why he is gone all the time. In the third verse of the song Eminem has a show in Sweden and Hailie follows him there.

Character- Eminem, Hailie, Kim, fans at the concert.

Conflict- Hailie has a problem with Eminem being gone all the time is the main conflict.

Theme- At the end of the song Eminem wakes up and it was all a dream. The dream was a warning to him that if he kept on living the way he was, he wouldn't necessarily shoot himself like he does in his dream but he would have a hard time with his daughter and family. I think what the theme is be with your family as much as you can, because if you don't there will be problems.

Setting- Three different settings in this song. The first one is at Eminem's house. The second one is at the concert in Sweden. And the third one is at Eminem's house once more.
