It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. ABSTRACT Typically, music videos fulfill an entertainment purpose, but this Master’s thesis is dedicated to a rhetorical analysis of two music videos that fulfill a greater purpose. I studied two music videos that break the music video genre mold because each one is centered on two societal issues that would be distressing to discuss in other contexts. The first artifact I studied is Eminem’s music video for “Stan,” which highlights the issue of idolization and fandom. The research question that guided this analysis is: How can a rhetor utilize music videos to illustrate the consequences of idolization and fandom? The second artifact I studied is Lindsay Lohan’s music video for “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father),” which highlights the issue of domestic abuse. The research question that guided my analysis is: How can a rhetor utilize music videos to illustrate the complexity of domestic abuse? Both artists used their personal experiences with the accompanying issue to craft their unique music video.

Finally, I would like to thank my parents and my brothers for their endless support. i Abstract Modern search engines are increasingly aiming to understand users' intent in order to answer information needs more effectively by providing richer information than the tra- ditional \ten blue links". This information might include context about the entities present in the query, direct answers to questions that concern entities and more. A re- cent trend when answering queries that refer to a single entity is providing an additional panel that contains some basic information about the entity, along with links to other entities that are related to the initial entity.

His nation-wide effort to “Recover America” began in Florida and will proceed upward through the east coast and is scheduled to be in Texas in October.
