Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park is a book about the cloning of dinosaurs and they are used as the park entertainment on an island. In this park where dinosaurs are the attraction, not every thing will go as planned
. Reading this book will teach someone how Michael Crichton feels about biological science and the cloning of extinct animals. There are things that caused the park to be unsuccessful. Dr. Malcolm and Dennis Nedry where two of the parks problems, and the other was the nature of the animals. Dr. Malcolm uses the chaos theory to predict the collapse of the park. In the beginning of the book Malcolm is introduced to the story. One of the first things Dr. Malcolm talks about is the chaos theory. In the first conversation with him in the book Malcolm said "Theory tells me that the island will quickly proceed to behave in unpredictable fashion"(Crichton 76). What Malcolm means by this is that without even visiting the park he can say that it will fail. Dr. Malcolm is a problem in the story because convinces other people that Jurassic Park is a bad idea. Dennis Nedry is the computer expert at Jurassic Park. He deals with all the problems in the parks computer system. Nedry works in the control room with Arnold. Arnold didn't care much for Nedry when he said "That idiot Nedry turned off the security systems"(Crichton 177). Arnold said this after Dennis Nedry had put a bug in the computer system that shut almost every thing down in Jurassic Park. Nedry is a problem because he has full control of the park from his desk. He being a computer expert can cause any computer system problem he wants. Nature is the biggest problem Jurassic Park has at becoming successful. As stated by Dr. Malcolm in the book, he said "Life will find a way"(Crichton ). He meant that the dinosaurs will find a way to live the way they want. This is something that scientists didn't think about when they brought dinosaurs back to life. The scientists didn't think about

    I am writing in response to your request that I analyze Stewart Brand's “The Case for De-Extinction: Why We Should Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth” and make a recommendation for or against publication in The Shorthorn. I have considered the rhetorical appeals of Brand’s piece and determined that a large majority of students would find this to be unappealing due to the large amount of Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and other religious groups on campus, so therefore, it should not be published. This topic is very controversial and most likely will not persuade the UTA community in agreeing with Brand’'s viewpoints.…

    Jurassic Park, a cult favorite, seems to be a scary work of fiction. What most do not realize is that there are efforts taking place right now to make the processes of reversing extinction a reality. This process, coined as ‘De-Extinction,’ is defined as using intact tissues of extinct animals to clone them and introduce them back into existing ecosystems. These efforts are taking place all over the world: the United States of America, Australia, Poland, and Russia. (Zimmer, 2013) This process includes taking fragmented DNA from preserved specimens, piecing the fragments together, placing the DNA in an emptied egg, and planting the egg in a female of similar lineage to the species being cloned. (Archer, 2013) The first attempt at this process was in 2003 when Spanish scientists attempted to clone the cells of the last Pyrenean ibex, Celia. The…

    Dope Film Analysis

    Whether it is the narrator explaining that Malcolm is a geek, or his awkward exchanges with people, the film constantly reinstates the fact that Malcolm is a geek: awkwardness, intelligence, lack of confidence, and simply different from the crowd. Although once the movie progresses and Malcolm establishes himself as a respected drug dealer, this is when the dualism of his character is shown. New elements of his character are shown and established during this breaking point in the film. At this point in the film, Malcolm is now confident in himself. He performs live with his band, punches a gangster, and blackmails a drug lord. The duality of Malcolm’s nature is best perceived in the scene where he addresses the audience about his college application essay. Malcolm talks about two students in his college essay: student A and student B. Student A is described as getting great grades and a perfect SAT score, while student B is described as coming from an underdeveloped neighborhood, not knowing his father, raised by a single mother, and selling drugs. The students are complete opposites and Malcolm uses this analogy to tell the audience about his sense of duality. He perceives himself as dual opposites: a geek and a drug…

    It is this separation from the rest of the world that causes them to question their identity and existence. Zakharieva discusses how the monster in Branagh’s film questions who he is, if he has a soul. While in Jurassic World it is said that the dinosaur is contemplating her own existence and figuring out where she fits in the food chain. Both monster and dinosaur are trying to find their place in society and the world, but react violently. The destruction caused by these creatures turns them evil in the eyes of the audience and other characters. As explained in Zakharieva’s essay, the 1994 monster’s violent acts are cruel and unmotivated; mirroring this is the 2015 film’s comment from Owen Grady that the Indominus Rex is killing for sport. Our fear of the unknown, the unreasoned, the unexplainable is expressed through the reaction to the unprovoked murders in both films. In the novel Shelley explains the monster’s reasoning and thought process behind his killings while the 1994 film, as Zakharieva examines, shows his violence as spontaneous and cruel. Branagh’s and Trevorrow’s films are more frightening because we fear the unexplained, like the reason behind the creatures’…

    In 2015, The Jurassic Park film series came out with a new action-packed film to wow audiences and send them on a new adventure with a dinosaur that had been genetically modified to be bigger, better, and badder than any other on the island. Jurassic World is set twenty years after the first film and was made seventeen years after Jurassic Park was released. Yet, for all the advancements in graphics, acting and storyline, there is one thing that it seemed to take a step back with. Jurassic World is a sexist and stereotypical film when broken down and looked at. From the protagonist to even the minor characters, Jurassic World is laced with problems that should have been addressed well before filming started. It demands to be recognized after…

    Malcolm X's Legacy

    Malcolm X’s legacy to the struggle for black equality in the USA went far beyond focusing on solely equality. Malcolm X hardly forgot the fact that he was the ‘servant’ and not the ‘master’ of the black nation’s aspirations and dreams. Malcolm X resisted the objective of integration and encouraged blacks to build their own society. ‘We can never win freedom and justice and equality until we do something for ourselves’.[i] He felt they should shield themselves against violence, ‘by any means necessary’. Malcolm X confronted the United States to protect its own hypothetical qualities. He held up a mirror for the country to scrutinize itself, now was the reflection showing too much for some white individuals in America?…
