The majority of the movie takes place on Isla Nublar, an island close to Costa Rica which has been transformed into a zoo for dinosaurs. The main premise of this book is that John Hammond, a dinosaur enthusiast and bioengineer, clones dinosaurs using blood from ancient mosquitos preserved in amber. He then creates a zoo like environment for the various dinosaurs, and hopes to be able to open it to the public, the rich public, as he is after the money aspect. Hammond makes his park so that it requires little human presence, running primarily on a variety of computer programs. When some of his workers ask him to have the park evaluated by experts, they bring in Dr. Alan Grant, a paleontologist, as well as Dr. Ian Malcolm, a new age …show more content…

Jurassic Park is a science fiction novel written by Michael Crichton in 1990 that was made into a film directed by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg’s use of advanced technology won the film numerous awards for best special and sound effects.

One of the major contrasts is in Spielberg’s illustration of the owner of Jurassic Park and founder of InGen, John Hammond.

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, the author believes that harming the innocent is not ok if they didn’t do anything to deserve it. One example from To Kill A Mockingbird that proves this is when Atticus doesn’t allow his kids to torment Boo Radley. The author states, “i’m going to tell you something and tell you one time: stop tormenting that man” (Lee, p. 54) This supports the theme because Atticus doesn’t want the kids messing and bothering Mr. Arthur when he hasn’t bothered anyone and doesn’t deserve the tormenting. Another example from To Kill A Mockingbird that proves this is Tom Robinson's trial.

All this is happening while a greedy employee steals dinosaur embryos with the intent of selling them to a rival company and shuts down all security systems, resulting in pre-historic chaos. A variety of filmic language has been used in Jurassic Park to represent how greed can lead to people acting out of desperation and how individuals in

He uses juxtaposition when he says the movie will be “Jurassic Park meets Friday meets The Pursuit of Happyness,” creating a creature movie with the influence of “hood boys” (Smith, Dinosaurs in the Hood, line 2). In the last three lines of the first stanza, Smith uses imagery to paint the scene of an African American boy playing with a toy dinosaur as he gazes out his window to see a T.Rex because “there has to be a T. Rex.” Smith is saying that if this was a stereotype filled movie it would have to have a T.rex in it due to the overuse of that certain beast, but leaves the question open to if the dinosaur is stereotyped what African American cliches of the boy have to be in the

“He prays because he knows he doesn’t control it. He’s at the mercy of it” is a perfect quote by Ian Malcolm, inviting the audience to believe Hammond has no control of the park, and hasn’t realised the implications of what he is doing, let alone the future of the park. “The scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they should, they didn’t stop to think if they should (Ian)”, this sustains the view that nobody at the park had consideration for what would happen if their experiment worked. When failure did eventually happen, the dinosaurs escaped and wreaked havoc on the island, causing multiple deaths. This ultimately aligns with the topic of pursuit of knowledge leading to their destructive

The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations by James Surowiecki is a book on crowds and groups. Surowiecki has four elements to a successful and wise group, which are: diversity of opinion, independence of action, decentralization, and aggregation. The five examples that I found interesting and unique to explain are his topics of diversity, independence, decentralization and aggregation, cooperation, and coordination. While my opinion of group work is not a positive one Surowiecki manages to deliver an argument for the wisdom of crowds that is both thorough and entertaining in his choice of examples.
