  • Examples Of Poetic Justice In Jurassic Park

    759 Words  | 4 Pages

    Poetic Justice in Jurassic Park Poetic justice is an outcome in which evil is punished and kindness is rewarded. This can be found in Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, a story in which a crazed scientist, John Hammond, assembles a team of top scientists to recreate extinct dinosaurs to use as attractions at his amusement park. In Jurassic Park, Ed Regis, John Hammond, and Dennis Nedry are perfect examples of poetic justice and are rightly punished. One character to suffer from poetic justice is John Hammond, the owner of InGen.

  • Frankenstein And Jurassic Park: The Pursuit Of Knowledge

    “He prays because he knows he doesn’t control it. He’s at the mercy of it” is a perfect quote by Ian Malcolm, inviting the audience to believe Hammond has no control of the park, and hasn’t realised the implications of what he is doing, let alone the future of the park. “The scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they should, they didn’t stop to think if they should (Ian)”, this sustains the view that nobody at the park had consideration for what would happen if their experiment worked. When failure did eventually happen, the dinosaurs escaped and wreaked havoc on the island, causing multiple deaths. This ultimately aligns with the topic of pursuit of knowledge leading to their destructive

Indeed, as Mr. Travis said, “The stomp of your foot, on one mouse, could start an earthquake, the effects of which could shake our earth and destinies down through Time, to their very foundations” (Bradbury 141). In the story “A Sound of Thunder,” written by author Ray Bradbury, he shares a tale set in the year 2055. A man named Eckels paid for the opportunity to travel back in time to experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of hunting a dinosaur in an ancient jungle. Before exiting the time machine, his safari guide, Mr. Travis, explained the importance

    Simeraly, in Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcom brings up his concerns regarding the park with John Hammond, Malcolm says, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't step to think if they should.” Malcolm calls out both Hammond and his scientists for not weighing the consequences of the park becoming open to the public and how it could harm society. Malcolm accuses them all of being so consumed with excessive pride and seeing if they would be able to create dinosaurs, that they didn't stop and think whether it would be a good idea or not and why it could lead to even more negative consequences. When first shown the lab, Malcolm warns Hammond and his scientists of the consequences of the creation of life, saying “ ‘If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously.’ ”

  • John Hammond's Proposal To Open Jurassic Park

    303 Words  | 2 Pages

    I do not agree with the proposal to open Jurassic Park. The person who brought this concept to life was John Hammond, the owner and founder of InGen Corporation. John Hammond was portrayed as greedy, which impacts his judgement wholly. I do not believe that Hammond is a very logical person, as he seems much too financially invested in his park to worry about plausible complications. He acts blindly and naïvely, as he continued to believe that nothing could go wrong in his park.

  • The Argument Of Safety And Security In Jurassic Park

    210 Words  | 1 Pages

    The amount of safety and security that would have to be in place in Jurassic Park would be extreme, mainly due to civilian safety. Security could come from other countries, and/or governments that have invested in the park itself or even volunteers who come to help. Security would have access to high powered weapons as well as larger scale weapons for the larger dinosaurs. Cages that would be able to withstand a dinosaur’s fury would have to be implemented, as well as the use of electric fences. The park would be more secure if there was security and a group of police officers that regularly patrol holding areas, and tourist centers.

    Moving on, another part of the story that will be better differently is when Bradbury went on to describe the death of the tyrannosaurus. Bradbury describes it in such detail, it is kind of overwhelming. Taking out the part where he describes the tyrannosaurus falling after being shot, and adding dialogue between Travis and Eckels would make it greatly better. The reason for this is because Travis needs to yell at Eckels for backing out, since Eckels technically agreed not to by going on the trip. Lastyly, the ending.

    Title Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.
