Poe and the Prison

After reading both stories, i find them very interesting. i also find part of the prison story comparable to poe story. Poe and Dupin were the detectives in poe story(the murders in the rue morgue). they both met on the street of paris. while in the prison story, both the detective and the three heaters met in prison.

In the prison story it was clear to us that the robber does not like the bodybuilder, but the reasons was not stated just as the reason for the robber was envy of the economist.

There was clues in both stories, but not compareable. in poe story the clue was said to be a broken doors, a resor blade. poe discribed how the blade was used to kill the victims. in the prison story, did not make it clear to us if three of the inmate lived in the same cell. which makes it a little confusing. and the clues in the prison story was a nameless weapon and the heatred among the inmates. the writer did not tell us what weapon was used for the crime. as we all know that inmates are not allowed to have any kind of weapon in their cell. this also creat a sense of confusion and there was not enough evidence that the economist killed the bodybuilder in his cell.

Although in both stories, they have the similarity of having the wrong people as the prime suspect. poe story was a little more understandable, it was clear, and many people came in for questioning. the people who came in for questioning, had one thing in common which was the vioce they heard. while in the prison story, no one heard any vioce or saw something until the bodybuilder was pronounce dead.
