Jurassic park
The use of dinosaurs to stand in for human beings is not unheard of and at times is actually a popular literary and film making fad. In the case of this story however, it had been awhile so the concept was relatively new. The dinosaur species represents human society. They have many different races and cultures by virtue of their meat eating or vegetarian eating habits as well as their refusal to mingle with other types of dinosaurs. They separated their types in the same manner that humans have often separated their types. This allegory is further explained by one of the novel's characters when it is said that one type of the park's creatures are tiny and cute and others in the park are massive and scary. It parallels the human tradition of division by cultures.In many literary works the authors use methods that might be considered metaphoric to make their point.

The film begins inside reality, the normal world, where dinosaurs exist only as fossils; technology is limited, allowing us only to see radar outlines of dinosaur skeletons from inside an inhospitable desert. It analyzes the implications this has for cinema in general as a return to the cinema of spectacle in the new guise of themed entertainment, similar to the entertainment arcades of old. It is in the pristine jungle that the trouble begins. Jurassic Park is part of a cyclic trend in cinema that exploits new technologies to hark back to the tradition of early cinema and its amusement park roots. as metaphors and allegory characters to present an underlying message to the readers. )AbstractThis paper presents a detailed discussion on the use of allegory in Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" and the "Lost World". The ability to use allegory in science fiction is strengthened and enhanced because of the very nature of the genre. While this paper will recognize the benefits of DNA testing, its main argument will be that, while Crichton's book is somewhat exaggerated and unrealistic, the basic warning is legitimate: that there is a certain point where man's creation can hurt humanity itself.
