Drug Cartels In Mexico

I think that Juarez, Mexico is a "sad city" because there is so much killing every week. Even students bearly in college are dying at such a young age. Being shot is especially a bad thing to end with. The cartels are dangerouse people and kill people real easily without people catching them. They kill families if you pretty much mess with them or whatever. Antebi is also really careful in taking pictures of officers because their families can be murdered, etc. I wouldn't like to live there, I'd probably be dead in about a year if I messed with Cartels.

1)"The average ordinary resident of Juarez, their life is in danger every day."
2)"You just never know if some distant cousin, perhaps, has done something, and someone is exercising revenge on them by killing you."
3)"Only in Juarez do the good guys wear masks."

These quotes are sentences Jeff Antebi said. And I agree with them because since reading that short story about Juarez, Mexico... it tell's alot. And It would really be sad and scary living there. In sentence 1, Antebi is saying that Juarez is a dangerouse place to live in according to the daily basis scheadule that happens. In the 2nd sentence, he is saying that what if someone you know did something so the cartels want to take revenge on your family and that family member ends up being you, that would be freakin scary! But of course it wouldn't to you (the person they kill) because you would be dead to even think about it! On the 3rd sentence, he is saying that the good guys are the ones who have to wear the masks! Now thats horrible. They have to wear them so their families wont be murdered. Thats really horrible that the good guys are the ones wearing the masks.

My favorite picture was the third picture. Not because he's dead or anything, but because it tells alot and shows how people are left in the middle of the dessert murdered. The photographer used simplicity. Well besides the car in the back, which frame the picture. I like this picture because it's in black and white and shows that the picture is sad and dead. It doesn't have color, because that would be maybe an i don't care or happy picture. This is an interesting picture to me because if we read the story and needed a picture to go with it, this would be a perfect picture for the finishing picture.
