Log Entry #6: 9/30/10

Today we had our second quiz on Jurassic Park, which pertained to the most exciting part in the book so far. In the past week, I honestly couldn't put the book down because there was so much chaos, theft, and mystery. As I got done reading this thrilling part of the book, I began to think what if I was in this situation as Tim Murphy. At first, when Tim was being observant and able to look and touch the Stegosaurus, I thought that would be an awesome experience. But as I continued to read, I learned that Tim was entirely in the wrong place at the wrong time (when he was in the land cruiser, with no power, and stuck right where the T-Rex's territory was). If I knew that a T-Rex was going to destroy the car that I was in, I would probably do the same thing Ed Regis did with some minor changes. This would include me running, but initially I would try to make something very eye-catching on land cruiser, so the Rex would initially be concerned about the car rather than me. While I would be running from the car and the T-Rex, I would snatch the night vision goggles and run as close to trial as I could towards the control center. In addition, as I would be running back, I would get some kind of thick log, so if I get into any trouble, I would be able to defend myself. In conclusion to reading and pondering on the thought of me being Tim, I'm very glad that dinosaurs are extinct and that none of the happened. But that brings the question, will there be something in the future that could pose the same treat that dinosaurs would pose to humans?
