Joaquin Guzman best known as “El Chapo” is the world's greatest drug lord. He has been captured three times and has been able to escape twice, once in a laundry basket and the second time he managed to escaped in an underground tunnel built in his shower cell. He was recently recaptured after being fugitive for about six months. Joaquin entered the drug business as a teenager and later became in charge of the Sinaloa cartel. “He shops and ships by some estimates more than half of all the cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana that come into the United States”(Penn). Many argue that El Chapo is a really bad person that only does a lot of harm to the citizens in Mexico, but what most don't know is that he actually helps some of them.
Thesis Statement: How Joaquín Guzmán Loera became a mythical figure in Mexico, both a narco folk hero and a villain
Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, also known as El Chapo, was born in the rural community of La Tuna, Badiraguato, Sinaloa (Beith, 2010). Guzman Loera started his trafficking career in the 1980’s working for the powerful Miguel Angel Felix-Gallardo (U.S Department of State, 2015); he was able to quickly move up the ranks because of his expertise in air logistics (U.S DOS, 2015). Guzman Loera is now the most powerful drug trafficker in the world and the leader of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. Thousands of killings have been attributed to Guzman Loera’s organization, along with kidnappings, and extortions. Mexican authorities arrested Guzman Loera on June 9th, 1993, for murder and drug related charges and was given a twenty year sentence in a maximum security prison in Jalisco, Mexico. However, he managed to escape from the maximum security prison on January 19, 2001 (U.S DOS, 2015). His escape from the maximum security prison in Jalisco has allowed him to
On the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr, labor union organizer and civil rights leader Cesar Chavez writes to the magazine of a religious organization devoted to helping those in need, in order to persuade their conscientious readers that “only nonviolence will be able to achieve the goals of a civil rights activist”. Chavez establishes that violent tactics in a resistance are not effective for the cause by using juxtaposing diction in order to distinguish violent strategies and nonviolent strategies. Doing this allows him to elaborate on the later as his judgment as well as use of plural pronouns and rhetorical question drives his argument for nonviolent resistance.
When actress Kate Del Castillo helped Sean Penn and Rolling Stone Magazine arrange the interview with drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, she had plans of making a movie based on his life as the leader of one of the biggest criminal lords in Mexico.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Christian Schaffer, the Co-anchor of Good Morning Maryland at WMAR-TV at ABC-2 News in Baltimore. Broadcast news is a medium that is thrilling, exciting, and fast paced. Schaffer took time out of his action filled days as a Co-Anchor to allow me to interview him and get inside his world.

Al Capone was from Chicago and the greatest gangster in the Roaring Twenties. Prohibition happened from 1919 to 1933 and was famously known as the “Roaring Twenties”. The Eighteenth Amendment was passed and banned the manufacture and sales of all alcoholic beverages. The Volstead act made the law official and stated that owning any item used to produce alcohol was illegal. According to the background essay, “meant any beverage more than 0.5% alcohol by volume.” This meant that no alcohol with more than the legal amount was allowed. Anyone who did this would go to jail or be fined. People wanted alcohol, so bad that all these bars started to open. “Illegal bars, called speakeasies, opened up across the country” as stated in the background
In addition, Krakauer appealed to ethos by integrating interviews from Chris’s friends and family into the novel. This source of evidence builds credibility for the author because it includes multiple perspectives of Chris, creating less biais. The general outlook of interviews contained mostly positive connotations on Chris. Wayne Westerberg, an owner of a grain elevator in South Dakota, hired Chris and mentioned, “he was the hardest worker I’ve ever seen...And he never quit in the middle of something” (18). By having the input from others about Chris’s personality, the author can conclude that Chris was mind-driven and self motivated. Others also expressed him as highly intelligent and easy to get along with. The strategy of interviews support
In 1993, EL Chapo was captured and sent to another high maximum security prison in Jalisco, Mexico. Initially, he was placed in a isolated facility until he was able to bribe and threaten the staff to place him with the other inmates. While there, they allowed him to have sex with female prisoners from other institutions, smuggle cocaine through Viagra pills, and treated him like a king (Fusion). Also, he stayed in contact with other extremely powerful drug allies, providing him with money and enforced their power among the guards (Grayson 58). After lawmakers did further investigation on his escape, it has been shown that seventy-one prison officials were receiving regular payments from 'El Chapo' (Morris 254). This continued for eight years (a few days before being extradited to the U.S.) until he decided that it was time for him to escape (Grayson 58). His major influence with his guards, led to them helping hide his body under dirty laundry and smuggling him out of the
I had the absolute honor of meeting and interviewing the wonderful Isis Howard, a Residential Advisor in PCV 1. Isis, a 2nd year Environmental Management and Protection major, greeted me with a smile which led me to immediately feel comfortable around her. Isis had several personal motivations for why she chose to become a RA; ranging from personal growth and gaining useful life skills, such as communication, honesty, and leadership, to giving back to the Cal Poly community. One point brought up that resigned with me was that her transition to living on her own had been difficult, but her RAs were there for her every step of the way. Their efforts to create a sense of home in an unfamiliar environment truly motivated her to become a RA. Now that Isis has received the job, she mentions she receives the benefits that she hoped for from the beginning everyday- she continues to develop skills in a wide range of areas that deem valuable for life.
When I first met this week’s campus celeb, AJ Rebuck ‘15, she was approaching her 30th birthday. She wasn’t fazed by this fact, or clinging onto the last of her youth. “I think 30’s are going to be my time,” she said about the milestone. It was very clear AJ had already redefined what it meant to be in “the best years of your life.” So when we sat down for her interview over lunch at The Trolley Car Café, the first thing I asked was “21 or 31?”

The King of Cocaine, Pablo Escobar, was a Colombian drug lord who created the Medellin Cartel and was once one of Forbes’ Magazines wealthiest people (Levinthal, 2012).
