I am reading Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. When Alan Grant (A paleantologist) is called by John Hammond who is a very wealthy man. He tells Alan that he wants him to come look at his new biological preserve, in other words a zoo. Grant agrees to come for the weekend, but when he gets there he is not ready for what he sees. The animals in the park turn out to be real live dinosaurs. The park looks like it is safe, but there turn out to be many problems with it. Then the problems get to large to control and there goes from being eight velociraptors to 37 of them.

A big lesson in this book is do not try to control something you cannot contol. The owners of Jurrasic Park were so fixated on thinking they could control the dinosaurs, that they let things get to out hand before they realized the problem. When a bad storm hits the park, the power shuts down. This turns off the electric fences that hold the dinosaurs in captivity. They didn't realize that the dinosaurs were breeding either. Then there were way more animals than they previeously thought. These things show that you should not try to contol what you can't control.

This relates to humanity because sometimes we try to tackle problems that are to large and we end up wasting lots of resources and people. In Jurrasic park, the park is funded lots of money to build it, but all this money goes to waste because they are not allowed to open it to the public if it can not control the dinosaurs. If a company tries to do something that sounds really cool, for example, making dinosuars, but it is something that cannot control they will mess up and create a disaster.
