When reading the book "Never Let Me Go," I couldn't help but think about how similar somethings were to the movie "Jurassic Park." Although this may sound like a childish and ridiculous idea, there is a very logical connection. (A summary of Jurassic park>) In Steven Spielberg's massive blockbuster, paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt. In this movie, the genetic scientists bring back dinosaurs. They use the blood in the fossils of mosquitos from millions of years ago, to almost clone dinosaurs. In the video below, you can see how the mosquito got fossilized. The movie can also relate to the book in that that dinosaurs break free and go on the hunt. Ruth, Tommy, and Kathy did not "break free and go on the hunt," but they did go out searching for their possibles, and a deferral. The dinosaurs, like the children of Hailsham, were unnaturally created from the DNA of another being, or dinosaur. The students of Hailsham were created to donate their organs to people in the "real world." The dinosaurs were made for the creators to get more money, or whatever the reason really was. Nonetheless, both were created for a purpose.
