Title of book: Jurassic Park Author: Michael Crichton

The point of view in this novel was the third person point of view. I believe the author chose this point of view so he could tell everybody's story and not have to stick with one single storyline of one person's account of what was happening because that would have made the book very confusing to follow with in my opinion.

The protagonist in Jurassic Park is Dr. Alan Grant. He’s the protagonist because he is the guy I was rooting for when everything was happening and the guy who seems to play the “Hero” type role during the story once things started to go south.
The books antagonist is Dennis Nedry because things were going

I relate to Dr. Alan Grant the most in the story because he appears to be a very grounded character, regardless of his position with his intellectual superiority or even if he's being chased by dinosaurs, he seems to stay humble for the most part and I feel like that’s a value that I would like to have just like this character and is why I can relate to him.

The story of Jurassic Park begins when a handful of people get mauled by what appears to be a dinosaur/raptor type creature, and it turns out that the creature that did the maulings was a part of John Hammonds company and business investment, International Genetic Technologies, which is Hammonds attempt at making a huge profit by having a theme park designed around dinosaurs in their natural habitats. However things go horribly wrong when a computer analyst Dennis Nedry makes a deal with a rival genetic engineering company Biosyn to steal his own employers dinosaur embryos. His master plan starts by shutting off the power to the park to override the security systems but in the end he only ends up releasing the parks attractions, the dinosaurs. So as you could probably guess pure mayhem ensues as the characters attempt to escape the park, and the island it is on. Then the book ends with the park, and island being blown up, but saying that there has been sightings of reptilian bird like creatures running through the woods in packs deep in the jungles of costa
The story really takes shape through the characters which are all round and very dynamic. They all have such personality and seem so real. There are two children Lex and Tim. Tim loves dinosaurs and it is ironic that something that he loves so much will put him in so much danger. Lex is only a little girl of eight years old who loves sports. Then there is their grandfather, the creator of the park. The park is his dream and he really wants it to work out, but his dream gets crushed. There is one last main character that needs to be mentioned in Ian Malcolm, because he directly supports the theme. He is a mathematician, who in the beginning of the book, makes his opinion known
protagonists and antagonists, the plot structure and events of the story and the way he
If only one perspective was used to tell this story, then this theme would be completely lost, no matter which character you choose, as the novel is full of dramatic irony. Though the characters in the story don 't realize their connections, the readers do. The text reveals that even characters who never come to meet, such as Blaine (an ignorant painter) and Solomon (a grieving New York City judge), can change each other’s lives in significant ways. Without these multiple perspectives, this main theme would be lost, as the readers would have no greater knowledge than that given by a single character.
There is death that strikes to Mick while on a fishing trip and is partially eaten by seals. Lisa’s grandmothers house also catches fire, and because of her old age, she does not escape but dies inside instead. She leaves about two hundred thousand dollars to her granddaughter, Lisamarie as an inheritance. The elements of ghosts and supernatural are highly amplified within this novel. However, Robinson makes Lisa’s connection with the spiritual world seem to be a gift rather than a curse. Lisa is haunted by a little man who could appear to her every time there was something bad about to happen. But Sasquatch also referred to as B’gwus is another creature that was said to be on the money beach, which made the island, have some ambiguity.

The book is very vaguely about former soldier in World War 1 by the name Siegfried Sassoon. The book documents Siegfried Sassoon's journeys and sights in a mental asylum for war-shocked patients, who are struggling to become sane, again, in a place called Craig Lockhart. It is there where he meets other significant personas that develop the book.
Upon arriving at the park and seeing the dinosaurs in person for the first time, all of his apprehension vanishes. He begins to imagine all of the money that the park could generate. Gennaro’s state of mind alters from threatening to shut down the island, to encouraging Hammond’s opening. Gennaro turns a blind eye to the park’s flaws, such as Ian Malcolm saying the park is doomed, and dinosaur no-shows on the car tour. His desire for money forbids him from stopping the incredibly dangerous act of cloning dinosaurs.
The antagonist is Paul’s older brother, Erik, and this sibling causes the main theme. That theme caused by Erik is fear. The author, Edward Bloor, chooses the literary devices nemesis and flashback for the book. Those two literary devices are the reasons why this book is successful.
In an attempt to smuggle dino embryos off of the island for personal greed, the island's unhappy computer specialist shuts down the park's defenses to escape. Nature only needs this one small opportunity, breaks loose, and pure pandemonium on the island ensues. Those in control realize that they have none, and become the prey of their nonobedient creations.
“God creates dinosaur. God destroys dinosaur. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaur.”
Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) and his other film Jurassic Park (1993) both contain a major theme of what makes a successful hero in society. In Jaws, police chief Martin Brody must successfully eliminate the threat of a Great White Shark from attacking Amity Island. In Jurassic Park, billionaire John Hammond creates a theme park where cloned dinosaurs come alive, hoping that his ideal resort becomes a major success. Through the use of film style elements, such as editing and mise-en scene, Spielberg develops Brody’s character as a person who must learn from his past mistakes in order to become a successful hero while Spielberg creates Hammond’s character as a man who only sees himself as a hero of science and technology without realizing
Although Jurassic Park is one of the most iconic dinosaur movies of the twentieth century, the dinosaurs get a meager fifteen minutes of screen time. The main focus of Jurassic Park is the ethics of manipulating life and how much control humans should have over nature. Ian Malcolm remains a steadfast believer that tampering with the DNA of the dinosaurs should not be taken
Jurassic Park was created by rich men and visionary scientists. The base thought for the park itself is unbelievable and achievable all together in one crazy idea. The park itself is off the coast of Costa Rica, on an island called Isla Nublar. We are able to see that in just a few short years, with the money and drive from InGen and its founder, John Hammond, Dr. Henry Wu, chief geneticist, is able to create and oversee living, breathing dinosaurs for a zoological theme par. When John Hammond approached Dr. Wu, he wanted him to do something so cutting edge; that nothing of its kind has been done before. The author goes so far in the introduction of the novel to state that the bioengineering firms have no regulation, no one looking over their shoulder to oversee their work. There is no one to tell them that they shouldn’t be playing god and basically they were in the an environment where, when it came to what was ethical and what wasn’t, no one was there to say. No one was around to say should they create the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the first place. These dinosaurs already had their spotlight on the planet, and by bringing them into an era that no one fully understood them was an accident waiting to happen. When you introduce a new species into a new habitat, there are chances

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton demonstrated many dinosaur characteristics and behaviors. The dinosaurs were fictionally characterized to appeal to the readers. By examining the dinosaur’s appearance and behaviors of dinosaurs such as the duckbilled dinosaur, velociraptor, hypsilophodontids, dilophosaurs, Triceratops, apatosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex, stegosaurs, and maiasaurs distinguished whether the evidence existed in the field of paleontology. The behaviors and characteristics of the dinosaur are divided into three factors as behaviors that were supported, not supported, and no evidence to support or refute the behavior.
