Levine arrives on the island first, after a lot of useless chatter and talk and the introduction of two young characters, Arby and Kelley, who are students of Levine's and sometimes run errands for him. Almost immediately after they arrive, Levine and his assistant, Diego, begin to search for clues to what the science community calls "aberrant forms", which many people have spotted but have been unable to identify. They come to a stream bed, where they are attacked by a group of unidentifiable animals. They capture and kill Diego, and Levine is nearly killed.

"Dressed entirely in black, leaning on a cane, Malcome gave the impression of severity." (Crichton 3). This, of course, is the physical description of Ian Malcom. Malcom comes off as a very logical and smart man - he's a mathematician. He likes to use his ingenuity and problem-solving skills when he is a jam, and he is almost forced to. His leg was injured in the first incident at the InGen "Jurassic Park" site. He is a rather shy man, and for most of the story he holds back many feelings that you know he is experiencing just from the context. He also says some very confusing things, too...They used one of these things as a quote before every chapter, or "configuration". For example, "Self-organization elaborates in complexity as the system advances toward the chaotic edge" (Crichton 66). What kind of casual reader is going to understand this without thinking about it for a minute or two? Despite his strange actions and beliefs, Malcom is one of my favorite characters of all time - both in books and in the Jurassic Park movies.

On the way back home, they have some conversations about their philosophies, and the book ends.

The climax of the story comes when Malcom and Sarah Harding (one of his associates) get trapped in a trailer that is about to tumble off the ledge of a cliff. Luckily for them, they are saved by another of their colleagues, named Richard Thorn, saves them by using Dodgson's jeep (which they had thought was broken down, AND after they thought all three of the egg thieves were dead) and ties a rope to the trailer and miraculously saves them.

The last literary aspect I am going to analyze is foreshadowing, which Crichton doesn't seem to be very good at, but enjoys to do nonetheless. For instance, somewhere in the middle of the novel, he describes a scene where some workers are putting together trailers for their expedition and they tell the boss that they are too weak and something could happen, but the boss ignores thim. It's so obvious, but it is foreshadowing.
