Book Report on "The Lost World"
Characters:
The main character in the book is Ian Malcolm, a middle aged mathematician and a little bit of an explorer. The man who set up the exploration, Richard Levine, is a rich and reckless yet well known adventurer who spends a lot of his time and money exploring different places around the world and helps at a middle school to give students of ideas of careers in science. Sarah Harding is a zoologist who was hired to possibly deal with some of the animals. Jack Thorne is the man who made all of the special equipment the group is taking with them and he went along to help and show everyone how to and operate most of the vehicles.
Synopsis:
My book is about how Richard Levine tries to and does find the InGen corporation's second dinosaur island which he had been searching for and trying to locate for years. The second island is only a few hundred miles away from the original , and they both were abandoned when a freak and tragic incident left nearly everyone on both islands dead. Not many people who knew about the second island survived so it took him a long time to find one of the old employees of InGen and get him to tell him about and the location of the island.
With his information Levine made a team of five people to take to the island himself, Ian Malcolm Sarah Harding, Jack Thorne, and Eddie Carr, the top employee of Thorne. They were going to leave in two weeks when Thorne finds out that Levine has left for the island early wanting to be the first one to “ officially” find it. He and the small crew of people he took with him were attacked and all but Levine were killed. He would be found later. The team left for the island soon after to try and find him. Unknown to anyone, two of

Arby really wanted to go when he told them that he was going on an exploration in the Caribbean to an unknown island.
Almost as soon as they got to the island Kelly and Arby were found and everyone realized that they shouldn't but were going to have to stay the whole expedition. At the time they didn't mind. They later set up base and took the
Explorer they brought to look around.
