First Iteration:

“At the earliest drawings of the fractal curve, few clues to the underlying mathematical structure will be seen” – Ian Malcolm Almost Paradise: (pgs. 11 – 15)

In July 1989, the Bowman family (Mike, Ellen and Tina) visit a remote beach during a two-week holiday. According to guidebooks, Cabo Blanco was unspoiled wilderness, almost a paradise (p. 11). The Bowmans squabble as they reach the isolated, pristine white beach. Tina runs off – to get away from her parents’ incessant bickering – and discovers a strange lizard, that bites her. 

Discussions surround quarrelling dialogue, Crichton's crutches (the Believe me! trope, the worrywart, and inherited traits), parallels and paradigms, safety, hubris/control, and Mystery Building.
