Videotape, Don DeLillo

I thought this story was really interesting. I found it intriguing that the videotape was taken by a child. This child filmed the murder and it felt as if while the murder was taking place she lost her innocence. This child was exposed to something that she most likely was not ready for in her life. If felt that the ending was cold because it states that people watch the video simply because it is out there and that the media plays it for entertaining. Morally this isn't right.

I also thought the ending was really cold and almost disrespectful to the little girl. She lost her innocence and people are watching it just for the heck of it.
