The statement of Randolph Carter


READING CIRCLE INSTRUCTIONS – For A Reading Circle is a small group of four students who meet in
the classroom to talk about stories or articles. Each student has a sheet with notes and questions to
complete before each discussion. This sheet is found below. This will prepare for the reading circle
discussions on Teams. When you work on your sheet, remember these words:
 READ – Read the text once without stopping, and once again while you work on your role sheet.
 THINK – Look for passages in the story or article that are interesting or unusual and think about them. Think about
the meaning of words.
 CONNECT – Connect with the characters’ thoughts and feelings, or with the topic.
 ASK – Ask questions with many possible answers, questions that begin with How? Why? What? Who? Do not ask
yes/no questions.
 PARTICIPATE – Participate actively in your reading circle. Share your ideas; listen to other people’s ideas. If you do
not understand something, ask people to repeat or explain.
ROLE SHEET
1. Write 5 questions related to the story that would encourage discussion. Usually, the best discussion questions come
from your own thoughts, feelings, and questions as you read. (What surprised you, made you smile, made you feel sad?)
Write down your questions as soon as you have finished reading. It is best to ask your own questions, but for example,
you could ask questions about the theme, the characters, the ending, or about what will happen next.
MY QUESTIONS: /2
1 What do think Happened to Warren
2 Is there in you're opinion a hidden message behind this text
3 Was the end predictable?
4 What do you thin Warren saw down there?
5 How have you reacted if you were in Carter place?
2. Read the story or article and look for words or short phrases that are new or difficult to understand, or that are
important for this story or article. Choose five (5) words that you think are important for this story or article. Your five
words do not have to be new or unknown words. Look for words in the story that really stand out in some way. These
may be words that are repeated often, used in an usual way, or important to the meaning of the story or article. /1

3. Read the article or story twice, and look for cultural connections, differences, or similarities between your own
culture and the culture found in the story or article. Make notes of at least three passages that show these cultural
points or connections. Tell the group about the connections and write at least one question for each. /1

Here are some questions to help you think about cultural connections:
What is the theme of this story? Is this an important theme in your own culture? Do people think about this theme in the
same way, or differently? Has anything similar ever happened to you, or to someone you know? Do the characters
remind you of people you know? How? Why?

must know to understand and remember the story. Retell the story in a short summary in your own words. (5 -10

MY SUMMARY:
From what I understood this story start with narrator getting ready to tell the story, The narrator keep remind us that he
doesn't know nothing of what happened and that he is being truthful. Randolph Carter is our narrator and Harley
Warren is colleague. They end to the cemetery together, Warren opens a sealed tomb and goes underground, leaving
his colleague on the surface. Warren see’s something that he qualifies as terrible and monstruous. Warren begs Carter
to seal the tomb and run away but he is too paralyzed and scared to react. Carter tries to communicate with Warren, but
the story ends with what the voice says. “YOU FOOL, WARREN IS DEAD!”
