The Only Weapon (Memo 3)

Music is used freely to express the feelings and emotions of one individual. The media uses music as the only way to communicating but not only the media as well as the artists composing this type of music. Angels and Demons describe a story where a man is into the cartel business and how he is affected by it. In a verse he says “I want my daddy to stay don’t go out it hurts me but what my little girl does not know that her daddy dies to a battle of the streets one guy dies” by this he is referring to living a life that he does not want his little girl to know. He then mentions “the guards came they surrounded me they shot I tried to beat them but they still hunted me down I write you this from jail in case they never told you or sadly I died and they buried you” in this whole action the man tried to make a deal work but was shot down then he went to jail writing to his little girl knowing that she had died from cancer which is why he said he died when they buried her. This song expresses a life of someone who cares about life and is in this business.


A country controlled by a pandemic that makes every person fear is no happy home. Pictures describing this information can make a huge difference. In my blog I have posted a picture containing a map of Mexico that displays the territory of the cartels. For example the territory in red belongs to “Los Zetas.” This map contains the general view of the land, and that is why it is important to this pictures information.


My other picture contains a visual of some of the leaders for the cartel called La Familia (The Family). This is the second known cartel group and their power is known to be little more spread out throughout Mexico. This picture shows how on a build board these leaders are displayed for anyone that has seen them to turn them in. I posted this picture because I wanted for people to see that they looked like ordinary people but held incredible power. Every picture contains great information individually and all have a point to my blog.
