Jurassic Park Day 2

Myth: Jurassic Park is a safe place where humans may view dinosaurs at their leisure.
Fact: Jurassic Park is in fact the opposite of a safe place. Jurassic Park is a very dangerous theme park where a person may be eaten by any number of dinosaur.

We have entered our second day of viewing the hit movie Jurassic Park and it seems that what was supposed to be a fun, safe adventure of a lifetime has turned out to be one of nightmares. Ian Malcolm's Chaos Theory is proven to be true in this movie as a tropical storm hits Isla Nublar while the park has been "shut down" by Dennis Creevy, the computer genius. All hell breaks loose as the T-Rex escapes his pen and terrorizes the company of experts and kids who are viewing the park. My absolute favorite part of the movie occurs when the game warden finds that the raptors have broken out of their pen and are now free to move about the park. He knows that there is nothing more dangerous on the island than velociraptors, and the look in his eyes says it all. I have always been facinated with velociraptors and their enate ability to problem solve and hunt as a unit (as our own Mr. Game Warden will find out quite soon). Dr. Grant and the kids have found eggs on the island that prove that using frog DNA with the dinosaur's DNA has not kept them from breeding. Life will find a way. Sitting in class and watching my classmates reactions to different parts in the movie is very amusing and shows that even though this movie was made over a decade ago, it is still quite entertaining.
