The Statement of Rudolph Carter (6pages) 2/19

The second story was entitled "The Statement of Rudolph Carter". Again the theme of curiosity killed the cat is shown. Rudolph Carter and an archeologist who's examining a temple in foreign swamps along side with his assistant Warren, a complete nervous wreck who keeps bothering Rudolph all throughout the book to turn back and leave the crumbled ruins. All of a sudden Rudolph blanks out, lands in a hospital staring at the moon and thinks to himself "Waren is dead"

Most Memorable Line: "Beat it! For God's sake, put back the slab and beat it, Carter!" (all throughout the story)

The Style Shown: The Raven (The repeated lines)

(exterior notes: Again, curiosity has put a character into harm and again the main character wakes up in a hospital )
