Jurassic Park Summary :: essays research papers

Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler were among many people paleontologists that were funded by a wealthy man by the name of John Hammond. The two of them were visited by a man named Morris who was very interested in Hammond. Apparently he had leased an island of the west of Costa Rica. He had some kind of big development going on for the past ten years. He also had been buying large quantities of Amber which seemed useless due to it's low value. And Morris, being from the government, was very suspicious. Shortly after this visit the two dinosaur diggers were called by this man called Hammond. He wanted the two of them to visit him on his island. It was some type of biological preserve that would change the world in science and Hammond needed all the opinions he could get on if it would be safe. He called it, Jurassic Park. Meanwhile there was a young man by the name of Dodgson who worked with a rival company of John Hammond. He knew Hammond was on to something big having to do with dinosaurs. He met up with one of Hammond's employee's named Nedry who was the design of there park's computer system. Dodgson knew that they're company was some how recreating dinosaurs by making embryos. There was just one problem, they're company was ten years behind and would never catch up. Nedry ended up taking the million dollar offer from Dodgson for the embryo's that would change there whole company and update them on ten years of research. When Sattler and Grant arrived at the island they met up with other acquaintances of Hammond. There was the famous mathematician, Ian Malcolm. The big and rather rude man, Dennis Nedry. The intelligent scientist that was behind the whole park, Henry Wu. And the lawyer, Ed Regis. Soon later the rest of the visitors arrived. It was Hammond's grandchildren. And then, it was ready for the tour to begin. The tour consisted of six people. Hammond's grandchildren, Lex and Tim, Malcolm, Dr. Sattler and Dr.Grant, and Ed Regis. On the tour they saw many interesting things. There was real live moving dinosaurs! The walk around tour briefly explained how the scientists did it. First off they had to find amber which was tree sap that hardened a long time ago when the dinosaurs lived. In this amber contained many bugs such as mosquitoes which drank the blood of dinosaurs millions of years ago. This blood was then used to capture the DNA which would recreated an actual embryo that would soon turn into a live growing dinosaur.
