Review Of Tony Smith's 'Jurassic Rat'
“Jurassic Rat” Found And Caught In A Playground In London
Tony Smith, a gas engineer saw the gigantic rat in a bush at a playground in London near Hackney Downs, north London.
It weighs approximately 25 pounds, and was already dead when founded.
A normal adult rat grows 9 to 11 inches, including a tail that could reach up to 7 to 9 inches.
Smith then asked his friend to hold the rat and take a picture of it for documentation. He even mentioned “This is the largest rat I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I’ve got a cat and a Jack Russell and it was bigger than both of those put together”
Smith concluded that this might not be the last one of its species, more are expected because these creatures are said to still roam the areas, looking for food

    In the novel “rumble fish” the writer S.E.Hinton illustrates sometimes we want to forget what happened in the past by crossing out that memory. The story begins when James sees Steve for the first time in five years. At first James could not remember who Steve was because he has a memory loss, but when Steve tells him he starts to remember. Steve stares at James’s scar that runs down on his side, James says, “I got that in a knife fight, a long time ago” (Hinton 3). When James says that he starts to remember how he gets into that fight, noticing how Steve tries to not look for the other scars that is there when he knows where to look.…

    I started out kind of confused. Rusty-James, the main character is talking to, I guess, an old friend. I don't understand why he's acting like he doesn't want to talk to him. I'm going to guess that something happened in his past, involving Steve and he's trying not to remember it. He could be a little bit nicer. Rusty-James seems real tough, like he's been through a lot. The second chapter starts and it flashes back when he was a kid. First thing that happens is he's threatened to be killed. What surprised me is that this boy acts like its nothing. Id get all my friends to back me up and id still pee my pants. Id be like Steve, the wuss, trying to talk through it instead of fight. Rusty seems smart, he just wants to be cool and have people scared of him. They start talking about this guy nicknamed motorcycle boy. He's supposedly "the stuff," everyone thought he was cool but was terrified of him at the same time. I guess that's how Rusty wanted to be. I've never understood the whole ego thing, how you feel about yourself depends on everyone else, but whatever, not the point. So this "legend" is gone, and Rusty wants to take his place. Rusty and Steve seem like complete opposites, but that might be why they click so well.…

    As I read eating the Dinosaur written by Chuck Klosterman (precisely chapters 1 and 2), it just dawns on me that I have never really considered the reasons why people talk. More importantly, the book reveals the covert motives behind my communication with people. Suddenly I just realized that there is more to humans’ conversations beyond the fact that they have well developed brains and have the capacity to express intelligible words. Part of the discovery I made was that the intentions of my mind when I communicate with people vary based on my mood at the time of the conversation, the environment, the kind of people I am conversing with, and my cognitive bias and preconceived notion. In this light, I agree with the concept of “Privileged access” credited to Enroll Morris by Klosterman. Enroll Morris believes that we do not have privileged access to our minds: we truly do not know who we are and that is why we engage in a seemingly endless battle of self-discovery (Klosterman, pg. 5). I absolutely agree with Morris because I found his assertion about the battle of self-discovery to be true in my personal experience.…

    Micheal Crichton’s 1990 novel “Jurassic Park,” is a science fiction cautionary tale of how reckless experimentation without proper oversight can lead to catastrophic results. The novel revolves around an isolated Costa Rican island and the dangerous experiments taking place there. When a series of mysterious animal attacks begin to occur on mainland Costa Rica, a connection is made between the attacks and the “biological reserve” on Isla Nublar. Two paleontologists Allen Grant and Ellie Sattler are among the group whisked away by billionaire John Hammond to the island for a weekend. The island is revealed to be Jurassic Park, a themed park showcasing the world’s first cloned dinosaurs. The scientists at John Hammond’s research company, InGen, used dinosaur DNA found in the blood of parasites preserved in amber to reconstruct dinosaurs. All the dinosaurs in the…

    Good? Okay, now picture a rat. And finally picture them both at once right next to each other, big difference, right? Well, they can be quite similar, mind you. They’re both mammals for one which is the easiest similarity but there are other things. - Now, I’m going to skip all the things that have to do with being mammals like live birth and hair and stuff like that. – They are both extremely smart and have gotten past complex problem-solving tests and mazes. They also both have large families of multiple types of their species such as the blue whale and the river rat.…

    1. After reading the thrilling novel, “Jurassic Park,” I can say with complete confidence that Dr. Alan Grant is the protagonist in the novel. He is the protagonist because most of the novel is written from his perspective and the scientific background information, specifically about dinosaurs comes from his thoughts and recollections. Grant doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty, and he sees himself differently from his haughty, academic colleagues, and I personally see that as a positive trait for a character. Throughout the crisis’ that take place in Jurassic Park, Dr. Grant remains the most “level-headed,” out of all the characters. Although it was difficult to decide where Dr. Grant stood, I came to the conclusion that he is a dynamic protagonist. The first event that led me to believe that Grant is dynamic is near the beginning of the novel when Grant is on the phone with Miss Levin. Once she tells Grant that she believes there’s a fragment of a dinosaur in her lab, Grant quickly brushes that idea off as if it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard. Once the fax was sent over to him, it was clear that Dr. Grant no longer believed it was a lizard, although he was still hesitant. The second event that led me to believe that Grant is indeed dynamic was when the group first arrives to the island in Costa Rica and the very first thing they see is the brontosaur. Grant was so amazed that he couldn’t even catch his breath. It was at this part in the novel when I realized that Grant isn’t a one-sided kind of guy. The third event that took place in the novel was when they’re all discussing the big question, “How is this possible?” Throughout his entire career, Grant never moved forward because he was stuck on the fact that you couldn’t clone dinosaurs. He thought it might only be possible if they were to find a frozen or mummified dinosaur, and once he learnt that a mosquito was behind all of it, he was amazed. After this occurred, Grant was an even stronger…
