The Decision That Changed My Life

Alan Grant

Hi guys. My name is Alan Grant. I work in Snakewater, Montana, USA with my friend, Ellie Sattler, for the InGen Company. While I was working on some dinosaur fossils, Ellie suddenly told me that a lawyer from EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, came to see me. The lawyer asked me some questions about my boss, Mr. Hammond. But the first question that he asked me is the question about ambers, a dried sap from trees created millions of years ago. I was confused, Hammond asked me to research about the dinosaurs, but ambers have absolutely nothing to do with dinosaurs, so I asked him about the reason why he asked me that. It turns out that Hammond had been spending a huge, and I mean HUGE, amount of money on those. I also found out that the InGen Company had asked me to become a consultant. When I told the lawyer everything I knew, he thanked me and left. When he left, I received a fax of an X-ray of a…. lizard!!! And not just any lizard, it’s a lizard from millions of years ago, in other words, a dinosaur. The fax showed that the dinosaur was found attacking a little girl around ten years old. Not a moment too long after that, Mr. Hammond called. He asked Ellie and I to be consultants at this island called Isla Nublar. At first, I disagreed, but he agreed to pay me a very large amount of money, so I finally agreed. That was probably the worst and the best mistake I ever made.

Why Did I Visit This Place???

This island is a nightmare. I regretted the decision I made back at Snakewater, Montana, USA. I sometimes think that they don’t really need me nor Ellie here, because anyone could absolutely tell that this island is NOT safe at all, well, anyone except Hammond that is. I would have gone straight home if it wasn’t for the ALIVE DINOSAURS in here. My only reason for staying here is that the dinosaurs were very interesting to learn and that I might be able to learn brand new things here that I couldn’t learn anywhere else on this planet.

Sometimes, I wonder why Mr. Hammond never listens to anyone when they told him that his island won’t be a success. The worst part about Hammond is that he doesn’t even care about the others. To prove my theory, he brought his grandchildren, Lex and Murphy, to the island, telling their mother that the island is a holiday resort.

My hope right now is that nothing goes wrong, because I don’t want to put these children into danger.

The Control

After what seems like forever, the power was finally on. It was nice to finally know that we will have a chance to live in this world longer. But even after the power was back on, the electric fences were still not working. It seems like we need to fix the computer manually. Thankfully, Tim finally figured out how to control the computer and he made the electric fences working again! Although it did take some time since there were three raptors that approached Tim and Lex (don't worry, I took care of it). At the same time the electric fences were working, the raptors that were biting the bars died. After the communication systems were working again, Gennaro contacted the captain of the ship that carried three raptors and were going to San Jose and told him to stop the ship and turn back. And the good news is, the island is now getting under control and we were able to see the raptors wanting to migrate. Although we did figured out that Hammond died, but I was too tired to feel sorry about him.

The End of the Hell

The end of the Jurassic Park is a chaos. There was explosion and smoke everywhere. I'm able to learn a lot more about the dinosaurs when I stayed there, but there were lots of people killed by the dinosaurs.

The most chaotic event of all was when the power went off. it was horrible, dark, and dangerous. the electric fences, which we used to keep the dinosaurs in their enclosure, sensors, video camera, Jeep, land-cruiser, basically everything except the Control Room, stopped working. then, after the power was back on, we saw some raptors behaving strangely. We then saw that the raptors wanted to migrate. Elllie and I were very excited, because no one has ever known this about the dinosaurs. it's a shame that I will never know where they wanted to migrate to.
