kellyYour first impression of Levine is that he is rude and intrusive. He inturrupted Malcom in the middle of his lecture. Later in the story he helps out Malcom in his search for "Site B." Levine's character provides some very interesting views on the mission to "Site B." Sarah Harding is a field researcher in the African Plains. She specializes in the behavior of hyenas. She knew Malcom from personnal affairs. After his near death expierience on Jurassic Park they were close but after a while they became friends again. She is asked to acompany Malcom and levine on the exploration of "Site B." Kelly and Arby are students at the school at which Levine tutered. Levine did not choose to do this. He was arrested for speeding at the school zone and had to serve community service. Kelly and Arby often ran errands for Levine. Kelly is the act now think later type of person. While Arby is the nerdy whimp type of person. He is a fantastic computer hacker. Kelly talks Arby into sneeking abord the trailor going to "Site B." Docter Thorn is a field designer. He makes specialized equipment for field researchers. He makes the vehicles that are to be used on the "Site B" exploration. He joins the "Site B" exploration team because he is one of the only people who know how the equipment works.
Eddie is Doc Thorn's employee. Eddie is Thorns most promising employee so he has Eddie come along on the exploration. Eddie is a minor character but is important the novel. Without him Arby would have died when the raptors attacked.
