In exhibiting the weaker side of the fight-or-flight response, Rachel acts similarly to a toddler who hides behind their parents legs when a stranger arrives. Perhaps the greatest example of Rachel’s young age is when she says, “There’ll be candles and presents and everybody will sing Happy birthday…only it’s too late” (118-120)

As in the case with many novels and their film adaptions, Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel version of the original Jurassic Park story differs greatly from that of its 1993 film variation.
