Why should we care? What difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species on earth disa

ppear? Let me count the ways. New sources of scientific information will be lost. Vast potential biological wealth will be destroyed. Still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber, fibers, pulp, soil-restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light. It is fashionable in some quarters to wave aside the small and obscure, the bugs and weeds, forgetting that an obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from overgrowth by cactus, that the rosy periwinkle provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood lymphocytic leukemia, that the bark of the Pacific yew offers hope for victims of ovarian and breast cancer, that a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery, and so on down a roster already grown long and illustrious despite the limited research addressed to it. Which techniques does Wilson use in this excerpt to convey important information to his readers?

Luke gave Percy a pair of winged shoes that were cursed to fly Percy to the Underworld when he wore them. Percy can't use them because the sky is Zeus's domain, and Percy's dad is Poseidon. Zeus and Poseidon don't get along, so Percy doesn't want to anger Zeus by flying.

Passage
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The winter setting develops the theme of finality and the realization that an end draws near.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes how the setting of the poem contributes to the theme. In this poem, the author provides an idyllic image of life in New England. He describes what winter is like, and we learn that, for the author, winter is the time to stop apple-picking. He tells us that there are some apples that he could not pick, but that things are now coming to an end, so he has to let go. This supports the theme of finality and an end drawing closer.
