jurassic park notes

Characters

Grant: notices that if he stays still the Tyrannosaur can't see him

Tim: got tossed while he was IN the car

Lex: falls out of the car into the mud

Malcolm: got tossed into the air by the Tyrannosaur

Regis: the opposite of brave, ditches the kids and runs away

Summary

While the cars are stuck in the rain by the tyrannosaur paddock, Tim looks around with the night vision goggles. He and Grant see something in the road that was as big as the cars. Tim then watches as the large T-Rex approaches the fence. It grips it and he knows the electricity is no longer on to stop it. Regis runs out of the car in terror to hide. The T-Rex rips through the fence and approaches the car at the spot when Regis had gotten out. Tim remains calm and Lex is knocked unconscious as it crushes the car and tries to poke it's head inside. It finally picks up the car in it's jaws and tosses it. Malcolm is horrified and tries to run, but the T-Rex gets aold of his and tosses him somewhere as Grant tries to take the opportunity to get away. It sees him and Grant stays perfectly still as it sniffs at him. In frustration, it kicks Grant and the other car.

Characters

Dr. Harding: confused as to why the radio lines aren't working

Gennaro:

Ellie:

Muldoon: concerned about the people in the land cruisers

Arnold: ticked at Nedry for screwing up the system

Summary

Harding, Gennaro, and Ellie begin their trip back to the building when they find a tree blocking the road. They decide to take the maintenance roads back. In the control room, Muldoon and Arnold  are still waiting to hear back from the guards who have been sent to find Nedry. Neither of them know how to work out what he did to the systems.

Characters

Nedry: took a wrong turn and got lost; he ran into some dinos and got eaten... s l o w l y. Ouch! That really sucks.

Summary

Nedry drives past the gate as he heads to the east dock to give the embryos to Dodgson. He plans to be back quickly enough that no one in the control room will suspect anything, but the storm is slowing him up. He was going to make a million and a half dollars, but that seemed almost out of reach as long as he was lost. He slides on the road and gets out of the car to try to see where he is. He finds the jungle river, but he isn't sure which part of it he is at. He walks back to his car and hears a soft hooting nearby and crashing of brush coming towards him and runs. It comes out into the open and spits at him. It spits again and it gets in Nedry's eyes, blinding him. He falls over and tries to block the coming attack. The dinosaur rips a hole in his stomach, spilling his intestines. It picks him up by the head and Nedry is horrified and wished it would end.

Characters

Hammomd: eerily calm and only concerned that he won't live to see all the happy children at his park

Arnold: agitated and growing more and more frustrated with Nedry, he's losing patience

the guard: explained why he didn't think "the fat man" was in the building

Muldoon: knows that Nedry's the one that stole the jeep

Harding

Ellie: curious, she suggests they follow the compys

Summary

In Hammond's bungalow, Hammond seems to be overly distracted and evasive about the park. He only wants to discuss the good things about it with Wu. He wants Wu to stop worrying and eat ice cream with him. He is convinced that kids, "or at least the rich ones", will love it and he expects to make 20 billion dollars a year and expand to new islands. He insists that no one will stop him from opening the park. Near the jungle river, Harding's party see apotasaurs and then compys that are flocking towards a dying or dead animal. They decide to follow.

Muldoon: considerably nervous; he distributes portable radios

Arnold

Henry Wu: Checked the DNA logbooks; realised Grant was right

Summary

Tim wakes up in the car, which is now stuck high in a tree. The car starts shifting and he gets scared. He unlocks the door and falls out into the tree. The car almost falls on him as he jumps the last 12 feet to the ground to evede it. Once save, the recovered stegasuar finds him and he chases it away. Tim gets his night vision goggles and goes to find Lex. Arnold and Muldoon are worried about the others not being back and start distributing radios around the building. As Wu goes to the lab, he sees the freezer door had been opened. He searches through DNA codes and sees that frog DNA is present in all of the breeding species, but not in any other codes.

 Characters

Lex: scared; she wants an adult to keep her safe    

Tim: relieved to find Grant and Lex but a little worried about his sister's mental state 

Grant: knows the Tyrannosaur doesn't have terribly good eyesight

Ed Regis: cowardly, guilty, unfortunately... he gets eaten.

Summary

Tim finds a slightly delirious and completely terrifies Lex hiding in a drainage pipe. Grant finds them both and sees that they are unharmed. Regis, who has been hiding, realizes that the children are still alive and feels bad about leaving them. He is still scared and heads back.

Summary

Harding, Ellie, and Gennaro arrive back at the Lodge. In the control room, Hammond is pressuring Arnold to get the computers and park under control. Arnold doesn't understand the system as well as Nedry did, so it will be a difficult job, starting with checking the computer code.

Gennaro: feels extremely queasy when he sees Regis' leg and all the blood

Malcolm: broken and dying but still alive at the moment

Summary

Muldoon and Gennaro go out in the jeep to find the land cruisers and the children. They find the remains of Regis in the form of a bloody severed leg and take it with them tossed in the back. They find the trashed vehicles and Muldoon thinks the kids are most likely dead. Then, he finds proof like a watch and footprints that suggests the kids were alive and left the cars.

Ellie: worried about the children

Muldoon:

Summary

Hammond is still trying to make the situation sound better than it is. Arnold and Wu go through the computer code and find out that Nedry had been meddling with it. They try going through the steps that he took and discovery that he shut off the security systems, erased information from the phones, and gave himself complete access to all areas of the system to shut them off. Muldoon tells Ellie that they found Malcolm, but the others are still missing. She has to help care for him with Harding, the vet, who is a substitute doctor for now.

 Characters

Lex:

Grant:

Tim:

Characters

Ellie: She is really brave and decides to be the distraction. She was smart enough to find a way to lure the raptors to the fence and was fast enough to outrun them. She was exhilarated by the chase.

Wu: gives Grant directions, gets eaten ( ;-P )

Summary

Grant and the kids make it back to the main building. The raptors have gotten in and have trapped the others in a room while gnawing away at the bars on the windows. Ellie wants to  be a distraction to draw the raptors to one spot while Grant turns on the power. She runs back and forth along the fence and draws all but two of the raptors to it. Grant leaves the kids in the cafeteria to be safe while Wu talks him through turning the generator on. Back in the cafeteria, a veloceraptor makes it inside and Tim leads it into a freezer with steaks and locks it inside. Grant finds Gennaro, who had been hiding. The raptors get past the fence and almost get to Ellie. She outruns them up a tree and jumps off the roof into the pool when the doors are locked. Wu, however, is eaten. The kids find their way to the control room and Tim gets hold of Muldoon over the radio. The raptors then find that section of the building.

Summary

Tim gets the computers to turn on, but can not get the security systems to work. The raptors see him and Lex and charge.

Summary

Malcolm complains that Hammond was trying too hard to control nature. The kids distract the raptors by tossing them the baby raptor in the nursery (which is quickly devoured) before running away. They then find Dr. Grant and Gennaro. Grant leads the raptors into the lab and injects poison into eggs that two of them eat, causing death. The third comes after him and he injects it with a syringe of more poison.

Summary

Tim activates the main power and turns on the power grid for the lodge, stopping the raptors, who were about to get through the windows, and saving the others. They call the boat, which is about to land. The captain thinks it is a hoax, but turns it around when Gennaro talks to him.

Summary

Hammond is worried about the world being destroyed by the dinosaurs. Malcolm thinks that he is stupid because life would never be destroyed, but they could, right at that second.

Summary

The computers are back to normal and help will be coming soon from the National Guard. The animals have been mixed and have come to s Jurassic equilibrium. Grant's party (Grant, Ellie, Muldoon, and Gennaro) collect weapons and nerve gas to go after the raptor nests. They put a collar on a juvenile and it leads them to the nesting area.
