FREE ESSAY ON JURASSIC PARK

JURASSIC PARK

A billionaire has created a technique to clone dinosaurs. From the left behind DNA that
his crack team of scientists and experts extract he is able to grow the dinosaurs in labs
and lock them up on an island behind electrified fences. He has created a sort of theme
park on the island which is located off the west coast of Costa Rica. The island is
called Isla Nublar. He plans to have the entire planet come and visit his wondrous
marvels. He asks a group of scientists from several different fields to come and view the
park, but something terribly goes wrong when a worker on the island turns against him and
shuts down the power. 
The main characters in the book are: John Hammond who is a billionaire developer who has
used his resources to create the dinosaur filled island known as Jurassic Park. He is an
old grandfather, and he dies in the book by a dinosaur known as a Procompsognathus. Dr.
Alan Grant who is a renowned paleontologist, agrees to visit Jurassic Park only to find
out it is the home of several Dinosaurs. Unlike the movie Dr. Grant loves kids in the
book. Dr. Ellie Sattler is a Paleobotinist and Alan Grant who is among the first people
to tour Jurassic Park. Tim who is the 11 year old grandson of John Hammond is very into
computers and loves Dinosaurs. His 7 year older sister is Alexis. She has a kind of
tomboy attitude and loves baseball. Ian Malcom is the Mathematician that uses Chaos
Theory to predict disastrous results. Finally there is Dennis Nedry. He was the computer
genius who's greed and ambition bring chaos to Jurassic Park. The characters show the
greatest difference in the movie and the book. There were many opposites in the
characters. One of the obvious differences is that the roles of Tim and Lex were
reversed. 
The book starts off when some of the dinosaurs have escaped form the island. John Hammond
invites a group of scientists to the park. He also invites his grandchildren. While all
of this is happening Denis Nedry ends up taking a bribe from a rival company to get
samples of Dinosaur DNA. In order to make his escape, he turns the power off, even the
electric fences. Some of the chaos starts when the humans try warning a boat that they
are transporting dinosaurs to the mainland.
