Primary Question
The main question addressed in this feature article is, 'who is Lady Gaga?' That seems like an incredibly broad question, but when it comes down to it, nobody truly knows. She masks herself with outlandish outfits and performances.
Ending
- ends with a question as to what reality is
ID Graph
- quote by Gaga: "Everyone can access the parts of themselves that are great. I’m just a girl from New York City who decided to do this, after all. Rule the world! What’s life worth living if you don’t rule it?"

- chooses this to tie together Gaga's 'rags to riches' story
- effective because it gives readers the sense that they can do anything, but I feel this is a bit cliche

- Reid heard a song after her signing a deal, terminated her contract immediately
- effective because of his status in the industry
vs. her level of knowledge
** also an example of tension/conflict
- important because the #1 music industry
powerhouse didn't feel confident in her
own power
