    Because the mosquito was preserved in tree sap, they are able to get a genetic code. To take the code and make a dinosaur out of it they run the codes through supercomputers filling in the breaks in the code with frog DNA. Because the codes were run through the computers, the people at jurassic park weren't fully aware of what was really going on in the labs, causing severe problems in the system. From the beginning to the end of the book John Hammond is intentionally oblivious the dangers at the park. To him, whether or not the reanimation of dinosaurs is ethical or smart doesn’t matter to him as long as his lifelong dream to make dinosaurs walk to Earth again is accomplished. Hammond is also keen to the idea of having minimal staff, and to have the park ran mostly through supercomputers, unaware of the glitches in the systems that will later cause disastrous results to the park. Unlike Hammond, Ian Malcolm is positive the park will fail, ending with serious consequences, or so says the “chaos theory” that he specializes in.

    Jurassic Park Analysis

    • 829 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Many people whether they are kids or adults have only dreamed to see a real live dinosaur. In the book Jurassic Park, this dream becomes a reality. Dr. John Hammond the owner of Jurassic Park had put together a team composing of scientist and computer engineers with the intention of creating dinosaurs back from the Jurassic period. The team is able to create many types of dinosaurs taking orders from Dr. Hammond however the dinosaurs had experienced difficulties and posed a greater threat than anticipated. I believe that Dr. Hammond’s ambition of building Jurassic park was unwise as it turned out to be more complicated, not to mention more dangerous as expected. First, Dr. Hammond would have done anything to create Jurassic park, but when it came to money he was the greediest person. Second, he was a very ignorant man, not listening to anyone. Finally, he had lacked intelligence on both dinosaurs as well as any other animals/equipment used to create them. Not only did Dr. Hammond allow these “problems” to get in his way, but he allowed his ambition to drive him there creating chaos.…
