Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares the movie The Lost World with the original book by Michael Crichton. The writer argues that the film, not surprisingly, concentrates on the visual aspects of the story -- heart-stopping scenes where the main characters have to run for their lives from very real-looking dinosaurs. In the book, Crichton goes into more detail on the science behind the story, introducing the reader to the latest theories in paleontology as well as complexity theory in mathematics. Yet, despite minor changes in plot, it is basically the same story in each format. No additional sources cited.

The film has Malcolm being lured to the island by millionaire John Hammond, the mastermind behind the development of the dinosaurs. Hammond has become a naturalist, due to his
experiences in Jurassic Park, and wants to document the natural behavior of the dinosaurs and, thus, provide an argument against their commercialization, which is being planned by the new head
of InGen. In this story, Malcolm is primarily motivated by his desire to protect his lover Dr. Sarah Harding, who is already on the island. In the movie, his
