Not to mention he also refuses to believe that the dinosaurs have found a way to breed despite of the scientists’ precautions. Between his stubbornness and old age we observe that Hammond is actually out of his mind. Later on, after the island is in pieces and most of the staff is dead, Hammond still believes that he still/should build another Jurassic Park. Though in the beginning the novel vilified Nerdy, Hammond emerges as the real villain of the story with his abuse of the scientific power. This quote helps you understand who the real protagonist and real antagonist are. Nerdy was just a pod in the author’s game, to figure whose fault is. (Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. Chapter Bungalow) …show more content…

Jurassic Park was created by rich men and visionary scientists. The base thought for the park itself is unbelievable and achievable all together in one crazy idea. The park itself is off the coast of Costa Rica, on an island called Isla Nublar. We are able to see that in just a few short years, with the money and drive from InGen and its founder, John Hammond, Dr. Henry Wu, chief geneticist, is able to create and oversee living, breathing dinosaurs for a zoological theme par. When John Hammond approached Dr. Wu, he wanted him to do something so cutting edge; that nothing of its kind has been done before. The author goes so far in the introduction of the novel to state that the bioengineering firms have no regulation, no one looking over their shoulder to oversee their work. There is no one to tell them that they shouldn’t be playing god and basically they were in the an environment where, when it came to what was ethical and what wasn’t, no one was there to say. No one was around to say should they create the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the first place. These dinosaurs already had their spotlight on the planet, and by bringing them into an era that no one fully understood them was an accident waiting to happen. When you introduce a new species into a new habitat, there are chances

In the story it says ”Shut up!” hissed Travis. “Nightmare.” “Turn around,” commanded Travis. “Walk quietly to the Machine. We’ll remit half your fee.” “I didn't realize it would be this big,” said Eckels. “I miscalculated, that’s all. And now I want out.” “It sees us!”” This example from the text reveals that when Eckels wanted to bail and go back to the time machine they were gonna let him but Eckels was being too loud. Travis was trying to quiet him down but it was too late and the T-Rex got alerted. When it was alerted the T-Rex swung and charged after the explorers. Showing that Eckels small actions had caused the dinosaur to rush after them and the big consequence from that
