Jurassic Park #7
One of the biggest themes in Jurassic Park is Man and the natural world. In the majority of Michael Crichtons books he explored the idea of putting people into the wild to contend against the natural world. Jurassic Park is basically a story of people who believe that they can play god and control the natural world. The scientists take fossilized DNA, clone dinosaurs, put them into an amusement park on an island, and then the scientists crest cages and control mechanisms to make sure that nature doesn’t escape and to make sure that they don’t breed and even though the nature that the scientists created is artificial, it still fights back and eventually nature proves to be too strong to control. The main idea of this is that in Jurassic Park even when man creates the natural world, the natural world is stronger than man.

Jurassic Park #6
The ending of the book was confusing but you could also see it from a mile away. In the end everyone that wronged anyone or had a problem bit the dust. For example John Hammond, great character, but he openly admitted to having the park built for the richest children in the world and that he just wanted to make a ton of money. So because of this greed, Crichton had him surrounded by a group of compys. This ending was also much different from the movie ending. Robert Muldoon never was attacked by the “clever girl” and his wits ended up saving everyone and himself and then for some odd reason Dr. Ian Malcolm was killed in the end as well. Malcolm’s death confuses me though. He was always warning everyone about the chaos theory and trying to make sure that everyone knew that the park wouldn’t last to try to save people so I have no clue why he would die. This has been my absolute favorite book to read of all time and I would recommend it to anyone.

Jurassic Park#5 - Robert Muldoon
On of my favorite characters in the book is Robert Muldoon, the park warden, drinks a lot and argues a lot, but he's the leader and the park needs when everything falls apart. He loves to take charge and boss everyone around and even sometimes his own boss John Hammond but only when he needs it. If a dinosaur escaped Muldoon takes initiative and will go and hunt down the animal that left its paddock, Tyrannosaur included. With his extreme knowledge of predators and the velociraptors that the park contains he is the person that I would want with me if I was on the island when everything went wrong.

Jurassic Park #4
Fourth Iteration analysis:
At this point in the book the park is failing, and people are getting killed or eaten by dinosaurs left and right. The first person to die at the jaws of a dinosaur is Dennis Nedry who is the novels primary villain at this point, which makes us feel relief rather than shock when he dies. The first major dinosaur attack come at this point and for me it’s the most exciting part of the book so far. This is when the crew is on the tour of the park and they get stopped at the tyrannosaur paddock just like in the movie! And just like in the movie Rexy breaks out and flips over cars and roads and and is just having a great time while everyone else is fearing for the end of their lives. Probably my most favorite part of this attack sequence is that it’s narrated by Tim, one of Hammond’s Grandchildren. Why tim makes this scene so great is because he narrates the attack from the view point of an 11 year old boy who is almost getting eaten by a fully grown tyrannosaur. Overall this chapter/ iteration is by far a favorite.

Jurassic Park #3
Throughout the book one of the most prominent themes is wisdom and knowledge. In Jurassic Park there is an unlimited supply of super experts: scientists, geneticists, coders and engineers. But how many of these smarty-pants can predict the future of the Park once everything starts functioning? None of them. It takes a handful of outsiders like Dr. Grant and Dr. Ian Malcolm to notice there’s a problem at all, and very few of the Uber-knowledgeable Characters in the novel have the wisdom and maturity to see what path their work is taking them and the park down. Wisdom and knowledge aren’t the same. Some day in the far far far future, knowledge may tell ya how to clone a Tyrannosaurus Rex, while wisdom would tell you not to make it. The experts knew to much... and too little and it all goes back to Dr. Ian Malcolm’s famous line, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

Why I Chose Jurassic Park
The 1993 box office hit Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg is know to be one of the greatest movies of all time with its stunning CGI visual which were very new around that time and the nail biting suspense. Not many people know that this movie was based off of Michael Crichtons hit novel with the same name that came out 3 years before the movie did in 1990.
Me, being a dinosaur buff since I was a kid and dreaming of digging up fossils of my own, I’ve loved this movie ever since I first saw it. When I found out there was a book that the movie was based off of I knew that I had to read it. Ever since I picked it up I haven’t been able to set it down. The book is just like the movie but only better. The book goes more into detail with showcasing the genetically reconstructed dinosaurs to as a way of illustrating the concept of the chaos theory and how it relates to the real world. I would have to rate this read an 11/10

Jurassic Park #2 John Hammond
Being one of the most enthusiastic characters early on in the novel John Hammond seems like an amazing man but in reality he only wants more money. As the owner of InGen and a dinosaur fanatic, John Hammond has invested countless years and millions of dollars into cloning dinosaurs for a private project of his. In the book he seems like he is doing it because he loves dinosaurs but he is very determined to make a huge profit from his park. This greed throughout the book hurts makes his decision making skills foggy as he cant see the bad things that are happening especially when the park starts to fail. In thew book he went out and brought Dr. Grant and Dr. Ellie Satler to go on a fun tour of the park as his friends when in reality he brought them to the park so that they could approve of it for him so the lawyer Gennaro would pass the park and let Hammond open it. Here he lied to both Grant and Satler because of his greed.

Jurassic Park #1
In the very beginning of the novel, long before hearing about John Hammond, the island, the park or the dinosaurs we learn about a Costarican lizard that has been biting people. Not far into chapter one you are following Tina, a little girl on vacation with her family from Dallas. She goes exploring on the beach, following what she thinks are small bird tracks until she reached the edge of the jungle. After being attacked by poisonous lizards and being rushed to an emergency room people learn about it and a nearby nature preserve is blamed. This takes to Isla Nublar where a mean lawyer and paleontologists are being given a tour of a dinosuar amusment park by its creator John Hammond. Later in the book once we learn more about Hammond, The island, the park, and what is kept inside the park and how these lizards are cloned dinosaurs called Procomsognathids or “Compys” for short. With the problem of dinosaurs already escaping the island before the park opens and people getting hurt you can conclude that this series of events foreshadows the failure of the park.

The Incredibles
The 2nd movie that I watched was the Incredibles. Even though this movie isn't labeled as a teen rebellion movie, it follows along with the teen rebellion genre. For example the Incredibles family is always moving from home to home because of their problems and that means that Violet and Dash have to move schools as well. Dash is the troublemaker in the family and Violet is always worrying about how she looks and who her friends are. These two are just like Jim from Rebel Without a Cause. Another reason why they follow the teen rebellion genre is because they literally rebelled against their parents. In the movie their mom Helen went on a secret mission to save her husband Bob. She tells the kids to stay home and watch their baby brother Jack Jack but they ignore her and join her for the mission. Even though this was not a teen rebellion movie, in the background it followed the genre.

Rebel Without a Cause
Last night I watched the 1955 hit “Rebel Without a Cause”. It was great but it was definitely one of those “Cliche” movies and was confusing at times. In this Movie a teen named Jim who is a troublemaker moves into a new down and because of this he thinks that he will be able to get a fresh start since nobody would know him. Little did Jim know that being the new kid in town would have its own problems. Throughout the whole movie Jim is worrying about what others think of him and that he needed to make friends since he was the new kid. This movie has the cliche new kid in town (Jim), the main characters new friend (Plato), the new kids crush (Judy), and the neighborhood tough guy (Buzz). Some things that all of the teens wanted acceptance or attention from their family. In the end of the film the teens create a family of their own. Also the primary audience of the movie was definitely teenagers.

Guardians of the Galaxy is definitely a movie that transcends its genre. This movie is supposed to be a fantasy/ action film but it is so much more. This film takes you on an insanely comedic, colorful, emotional, action packed journey where a man without a family regains his family when a bunch of criminals team up to stop a super villain from destroying an entire planet. This film was super successful for bringing their classic music to the table as well and for making their film one of the most comedic marvel movies of all time.

To me And many other people, Freddy Mercury is one of the most original people the world has ever seen. Freddy mercury was the lead vocalist for queen and he was probably one of the best vocalist ever. I think that he was original because of the songs that he sang and how his group played them. One of his most recognizable songs, “Don’t Stop Me Now” combines, the electric guitar, base guitar, drums, piano and opera singing. Also none of Queens songs are remixes or ripoffs of other groups music. Same with with their top hit, “Bohemian Rhapsody” the rock and roll operatic masterpiece he made on his own with his friends. Queen reached the top of the charts in both the UK and the US for popularity amongst the people.

I think this quote works perfectly with my hope abstract because you always have to keep at it and you can never give up. Another part that I like about this quote is that this is one of Marcus Luttrell’s own quotes and he has many others. This quote is from one of his speeches, not his book.

This website has hundreds of quotes that talk about hopefulness and what it means but my favorite one on the whole website says "instead of wiping away your tears, wipe away the people who made you cry." This quote perfectly relates to my abstract and book because how Marcus thinks of hope is for the safety of himself and his brothers all the time and physically expresses by wiping out anyone who threatens his or his brothers lives.
