Jurassic Park - Summary
|
|
|
|
Jurassic Park is divided into seven sections, each with a quote from
|
|
Ian Malcolm. He was a mathematician who specialized in the field called
|
|
chaos theory, which based itself mainly on nonlinear equations. The first
|
|
section follows the paths of several scenes, where in each one, there is
|
|
evidence pointing to the appearance of dinosaurs. One of these scenes
|
|
included in the very beginning, where a man was flown in to a doctor with
|
|
mortal wounds surrounding his body. One of his last words was "raptor",
|
|
which meant "bird of prey." Another was when a young girl was bit by a so
|
|
called lizard, but the lizard fit closely to the description of a dinosaur.
|
|
|
|
The second section ties in with the first one, but now the reader is
|
|
presented with scientific evidence of living dinosaurs. Here the reader is
|
|
given a little insight of the background to the situation, as Bob Morris,
|
|
part of the EPA, reveals information that InGen had three Cray XMP's
|
|
shipped to Costa Rica, which were very powerful supercomputers, and 24
|
|
Hoods, which were automated gene sequencers. Later on, the carcass of a
|
|
dinosaur, which was found near the sight where the young girl was bit, was
|
|
sent to a lab to be examined, and it was identified as a Procompsognathus,
|
|
thought to be extinct for millions of years. The scientists who witnessed
|
|
the evidence, Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant, both foremost in the fields of
|
|
paleontology, were soon requested to fly down to a private island off of
|
|
Costa Rica by John Hammond, founder of InGen. A little later on in the
|
|
second section, the story unfolds somewhat, when the scene shifts to a
|
|
meeting of the Biosyn Corporation of Cupertino, where they explain that
|
|
InGen was cloning dinosaurs. The Biosyn company then hires Lewis Dodgson,
|
|
an scientists who worked at InGen, to help them steal dinosaur embryo's for
|
|
them. He starts off toward Costa Rica as Ellie and Grant arrive in Jurassic
|
|
Park, and get their first glimpses of the dinosaurs.
|
|
|
|
The third section begins with Ellie and Grant about to tour the park.
|
|
They are joined by two children, the grandchildren of Hammond, Tim and Lex
|
|
Murphy. Tim was only eleven but he knew a lot about dinosaurs because he
|
|
was very interested in them. The small group is first taken on a tour
|
|
through the main building of the park by Mr. Regis, head of Public
|
|
Relations. Here is when Regis explains the process in which the dinosaurs
|
|
where able to be cloned. He explained that to obtain full strands of
|
|
dinosaur DNA, they extracted the blood from ancient insects, hoping to find
|
|
biting insects which still had dinosaur DNA within them. Regis then takes
|
|
them to a room where the Cray super computers are busily working, repairing
|
|
broken DNA segments. Then they arrive in the fertilization room, and then
|
|
the hatchery. Later, they are taken to the control room, where almost all
|
|
the park functions could be maintained. The main computer sustained
|
|
accurate numbers and locations of all the dinosaurs in the park, motion
|
|
detectors where set up throughout the park, and video cameras. So it was
|
|
virtually a foolproof system. After leaving the control room, the visitors
|
|
climb aboard Toyota Land Cruisers, which acted as the mode of
|
|
transportation throughout the park. They move along the park, looking at
|
|
Dilophosaurus, Triceratops, and the ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex.
|
|
|
|
Everything was going all as planned, but as Ian Malcolm had predicted,
|
|
things started to go wrong. First, back at control, they did scans around
|
|
the park and found out that the dinosaurs were breeding, something they
|
|
were genetically not able to do. Next, Alan, and the kids saw that a group
|
|
of raptors, fierce predators, were about to board a ship headed toward the
|
|
mainland. But at that exact time it began to rain and Dennis Nedry, hired
|
|
by Lewis Dodgson to steal the embryo's, shut down the main power to the
|
|
main computer. This started a chain reaction that escalated to the
|
|
destruction of the entire park.
|
|
|
|
And so begins the fourth section of the novel. When Nedry had shut off
|
|
the main computer, all the electricity in the park went down as well. This
|
|
was bad timing, because Alan, and the kids were trapped in the Land
|
|
Cruisers right next to the T-Rex pin. And because the electricity was out,
|
|
the fences all around the park were not electric, which allowed the animals
|
|
to get free. And this meant bad news for Alan and the group since they knew
|
|
that the Tyrannasaurus could get out at any time. Soon enough, it got out
|
|
of the pin and knocked over both of the Land Cruisers, injuring everyone
|
|
but luckily it didn't kill anyone. Back at control, Dr. Wu, head of
|
|
genetics, was trying to start the main computer back up again, but was
|
|
unable to crack the code that Nedry had put in. In the forest, Alan was
|
|
fortunate to find Lex and Tim, and they discovered a small feed building
|
|
where they decided to stay until morning. Dr. Wu finally cracked the code
|
|
and had the computer back on-line again. But then things went wrong again.
|
|
They had reset the main computer to access the phone lines but in doing so,
|
|
they failed to realize that after that, it began to run the park off of
|
|
auxiliary power. Back in the forest, Alan and the kids had found a raft,
|
|
and began to float down a river toward control.
|
|
|
|
Now the fifth section begins as Alan is floating down the river,
|
|
trying to escape from the T-Rex, who was still trying to get at them.
|
|
Luckily the escaped it two times. They had floated down to a waterfall and
|
|
had escaped behind it when the T-Rex found them. It had a hold of Tim in
|
|
his tongue when it dropped into unconsciousness because of a tranquilizer
|
|
dart fired at it more than a hour ago. Now back at control, they had just
|
|
began to realize that they park was run off of auxiliary power. What they
|
|
needed to do to raise the main power back on-line was to go into the back
|
|
building where the switch was. Unfortunately, the raptors had gotten loose,
|
|
and were wrecking havoc all around. Already two people were killed when the
|
|
sixth section starts.
|
|
|
|
Alan and the kids arrive in the lobby of the control station where
|
|
they found out that the raptors had trapped them in the building, and were
|
|
biting through the steel bars, able to get them in less than 15 minutes.
|
|
But Alan had a plan, and was able to get to the main power switch and turn
|
|
it back on. Meanwhile, Ellie and Wu were trying to provide distraction for
|
|
Allan, when one of the raptors killed Wu. Ellie escaped barely and Lex and
|
|
Tim had a adventure of there own while they waited for Allan to get back.
|
|
They were waiting in the kitchen when Tim saw a raptor in the darkness
|
|
through his night goggles. He fortunately was calm, and he devised a plan
|
|
that trapped the raptor in the freezer. Lex and Tim ran upstairs toward
|
|
control only to find it abandoned. They arrived right after Allan was able
|
|
to turn the main power back on. Now Tim had the great task of figuring out
|
|
how to get the security back on-line. Suddenly, the raptors jumped up into
|
|
the control room. Alan arrived with the kids though, and killed off three
|
|
of them by using deadly toxins stored in the labs. They arrived back in
|
|
control just in time to turn on the security and redirect the boat going
|
|
mainland back.
|
|
|
|
The final section dealt with the destruction and final outcome of the
|
|
island. Ellie and Allan went off to search for the breeding grounds of the
|
|
dinosaurs. They had arrived at the breeding place of the raptors and
|
|
discovered that they wanted to migrate, when they were taken away by
|
|
helicopter and the island was destroyed behind them. And so ends the novel,
|
|
with an optimistic view of some dinosaurs in the jungles.
|
|
|
|
Jurassic Park starts off with a brief history ofbiotechnology, and
|
|
first introduces the International GeneticTechnologies, Inc., known in the
|
|
story as InGen. Here, itexplains what happened to InGen and their genetic
|
|
crisis, andthen using a flashback method, it presents the rest of the
