Teachers & SchoolsAwe and Amazement
In a way, Steven Spielberg built his own Jurassic Park when he made a movie based on Michael Crichton's novel. With the latest special effects—which still hold up today—Spielberg brought realistic dinosaurs to the silver screen. Audiences watched in awe and amazement as the heroes of the movie looked at real dinosaurs, also in awe and amazement. The novel Jurassic Park is arguably less "wonder-filled" than the movie, but wonder is still a big theme in the book. Despite the folly of their efforts, Hammond and his team really do want visitors to the park to experience the most wonderful of all possible attractions.
Grant finds dinosaurs more awesome and amazing when seeing only their bones.
