Max S.: I read Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. It takes place on the remote island of Isla Nublar, in Central America. This island is crucial to the plot and the characters for many reasons. First of all, the air on the island has been enriched with minerals and chemicals that are harmless to humans, but the dinosaurs have been genetically modified to need them to survive. Secondly, the jungle on Isla Nublar is where a lot of the main events in the story happen. Overall, this story wouldn't be as strong if it wasn't set on this island. |
