Videotape

I found this story to be very interesting and sort of creepy. The author paints a clear picture of every detail of what is happening in the video. This makes it appear as if you are there or watching it yourself. The story shows the power behind a videotape. You can relive any event or tradgedy caught on video. The thing that I did not quite understand is how the girl keeps shooting the video even after the man was shot. I did not get the picture from the text that the girl freaked out and forgot about the videotape. It was like she just kept right on like nothing happened. The author real gives you the feel of how the video is being shot, every detail in the girls actions and reactions.

This story really does show "the power behind a videotape." I thought it was interesting, too, how the little girl just kept taping without showing a normal, maybe mature, reaction by pulling away. She just kept watching.
