He was able to save the kids from the park and he was probably the main reason that everyone even survived the island.  

R.R. Personally my favorite character in the book and arguably one of the most important the way Grant was written is one of the greatest fictional characters ever. ]]> 2021-02-01 19:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150458756 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150529317 Tim was the grandson of John Hammond, and he was one of the most intelligent when it came to the dinosaurs on the island. The fact he was 11 and one of the most intelligent really shows promise in his future. He was able to outsmart the Velociraptor and he locked one of them in a freezer saving his sister. ]]> 2021-02-01 19:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150529317 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150553926 Lex was Tim´s little sister and was probably the biggest thorn in every ones  side whilst on the island. She would wine and complain every 3 seconds about how she was hungry or about how she would want to go home. She never really became anything more than a wining brat the whole time. She was also really into sports and baseball, being a fan of the New York Mets.

R.R. If it was not obvious from the description she was my least favorite character in the book by a long shot, the whole entire time she was just a winy little brat and would ignore the fact they were all probably going to die if she wouldn't shut her mouth. ]]> 2021-02-01 19:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150553926 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150617785 John Hammond was in charge and  the builder of Jurassic Park.  He was very enthusiastic and wanted to stop at nothing to get his park up and running.  He would not listen to most others advice or opinion of the island. He ignored Ian Malcolm´s warning and this inevitably caused the downfall of Jurassic Park.  He was one of the characters who did not make it out of the park alive, he was eaten by a pack of Compy´s, looking for a meal.  His greed was one of the factors that drove him away from everyone else.]]> 2021-02-01 19:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150617785 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150640724 Ian Malcolm was a brilliant mathematician from Texas, who was very informed in Chaos Theory. He was the man who predicted the end of the park, and while most did not believe him it was eventually realized that he had been right the whole entire time . He inevitably met his fate when he was attacked in his car by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and he got bitten and his leg torn open. Although he did not die then he lived until the people were about to be saved and then he died because of his wounds. ]]> 2021-02-01 19:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150640724 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1150687383 A theme in the book is, in my own words, try and not play god. The whole book they are trying to recreate a era and bring it back from the dead.   https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/playing-god

R.R. I think it is a very stupid idea for them to try and recreate something that is extinct.

Considering how the dinosaurs are unpredictable anything could go wrong which it definitely did. Malcolm used Chaos theory to develop his assumption about what will happen

R.R. The interesting thing about the book is the fact the Malcolm had predicted all of this from the very very beginning even when everyone else doubted him he still believed in his view. ]]> 2021-02-01 22:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1151179316 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1151327528 The book starts off with a small girl getting bitten by a mysterious creature while on the beach, recording all she could find.

Dr. Grant and Ian Malcolm have to sit and watch in horror as the car with the children is lifted into the air and the children are near death.

R.R. The fact that the park had never taken into account that the park could lose power is one of the stupidest planning flaws ever written, if they would have just installed storm protection so many lives would have been saved and the park would have opened to the public.]]> 2021-02-02 02:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1151655035 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1151659098   Lex falls out of the car while it is in the air and Tim is still trapped inside when the T-Rex through it off to the side in a tree where he is knocked unconscious.

After the Rex leaves Grant finds the two kids after Tim had gotten down from the tree and after Lex had been found in the pipes. 

R.R. The fact that these people lived to tell the tale that they were confronted by a T-rex is in its own point one of the most lucky things that could have happened. ]]> 2021-02-02 02:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1151659098 fischerml2025 https://padlet.com/fischerml2025/n20xvuqd7l89k23f/wish/1151664394 The main headquarters realizes that they had almost no way of turning the power back on after Nedry had left for his secret mission to steal some of the Dinosaur DNA, for a group of investors who want to compete against Jurassic Park.
