In the book, The Andromeda Strain there is a problem that faces mankind. This problem is a strange virus that comes to Earth from an unmanned satellite, which was in space. This satellite crashes into a small town in Arizona, which has a population of 38 people. When this satellite crashes into the Earth, it kills everyone, except for an old man and a two-month old baby.
There are two scientists who have the job of going to the crash site and gathering up the remains from the satellite. While the two of them are attempting to do their job, they are mysteriously killed. The last thing that people on the other end of their radio heard was a loud scream, then static. The government, which was listening to what all was going on through the radio, thought that this was very strange.
In the past, they had thought about there being a time when strange organisms from outer space would come to Earth, and try to take over. They decided that they would design a building that could be used to research the different things that they might come across in the future. This building would have to be very sterile so that the organisms couldn’t contaminate anything and destroy the Earth. The building was five stories high and each level was more sterile than the previous one. The building was located in the middle of nowhere underground, so that no one would know about it, unless they were on one of the teams that would be doing the research in the building.
This building would also have a self-destruct button in case there was an emergency and they had to destroy everything that they were doing in the building. When the satellite crashes to Earth, the special team of four people that the government had previously selected, was called to this building. They had samples of the organism, which was found by other people at the crash site sent to the building. They were going to use this sample to research the organism. They hoped to find out what it was and how it killed all of the people who lived in the small town in Arizona. Everything was going well with the research, until the virus started eating through plastic containers and the sterile suits that the workers were wearing.
The Essay on An Earth Shaking Crash
FINAL COPY AN EARTH SHAKING CRASH 10th August 2004. It was my 10th birthday. We were in the Mother City, Cape Town. It was a dream come true. I was ecstatic, my 10th birthday... on holiday...in a beautiful city! I could not have wished for anything better. We were at a park near Table Mountain. We could see the beautiful waterfalls cascading down the gigantic mountains. The weather was perfect. We ...
After time, almost all of the workers who were in the building had been killed by this virus. The only person that lived out of the five people who were on the selected team was Mark Hall. After the organism had taken over most of the building, the self-destruct mechanism of the building went into effect. Hall tried hard to reach the place where he could shut down this mode. It took him awhile to reach this place, but he eventually reached the switch, with only thirty-four seconds to go until the building would blow up.
The four major characters of this book hope to accomplish very much. They hope that they are able to work together to find out a about the organism that was very destructive to the human race. They hoped that they would be able to find enough out about this virus, before it killed anymore people than it already had. They were worried for their lives and for the people on Earth, so they hoped to find a way to destroy this “thing” and to not let it back into Earth’s atmosphere ever again. Each one of the main characters in this book is totally different. They all have different ways of living their lives and different beliefs on how to do things.
Their different ways become problems at certain times, but eventually they work things out between themselves. They all have very different personalities, which caused problems throughout the story. They all had different ideas as to how they should be doing certain things, and they all felt that they had the correct way of doing the things. Eventually, they accomplish what they set out to do by agreeing on how they were going to do things. Once everyone was willing to work together, they accomplished what they were told to do, which was to find out more about this virus that had come to Earth from the satellite. The author, Michael Crichton, is trying to tell us that our lives are very valuable and they we never know when they might end.
The Essay on Genesis 1 11 Noah Earth Time
Genesis 1-11 My mind began to fill with questions and thoughts as I read the first eleven chapters of the Bible (see list of questions after my paper please). It never ceases to amaze me that I can repeatedly read chapters of the Bible and learn or notice something fresh each study session. A number of unique things occurred to me this time through. The fact that the Tigris and Euphrates have ...
At any unknown time, something, such as the organism in The Andromeda Strain, could come to Earth and kill everyone. He’s trying to say that we should think ahead and try to have things planned out in advance if something should happen to go wrong.
