"The Cheerleader's Fall" by: CMontanez, is a story that we have seen happen in many cases. It's the typical story of jealousy and affairs, but all this of course leads to death. I can say that this detective story is a bit modern day. The story being modern is what makes it a different story from "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". This story is similar to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" because in Poe's story he definatly includes clues, as in every detective story. The older woman in Poe's story, her body goes missing, as Janice's body goes missing in "The Cheerleader's Fall". Then after they found the woman's body in Poe's story, they find her badly beatn and her throat cut. The same way that in "The Cheerleader's Fall", Janice is found dead in the shower.
Also in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "Dupin" becomes interested in pursuing the investigation", which is normal in a detective story. Dupin plays the same role that Jeff Shaneton plays in "The Cheerleader's Fall". Shaneton plays the detective in this story. Both of these people play great detective roles in trying to solve these murders. Although there were both clues in both these stories, they are not the same clues. The clues in the story "The Cheerleader's Fall" are indeed a bit more high schoolish, because it does take place in a highschool, and not as serious as in Poe's story.
Both these stories are indeed good and page turning stories. I really liked "The Cheerleader's Fall", because this story would really seem like a story that I would have wrote myself. I really enjoyed reading the crime and also reading the clues. I also enjoyed how the story ends. It has a great twist to it. I really enjoyed how this death was casued by a romance, especially by another girl. Sometimes it is just better to keep ones feelings to one's self. This would really aviod problems and in this case it would have avoided death.
