Answer:
Hardin's metaphor describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people, with room for ten more. The lifeboat is in an ocean surrounded by a hundred swimmers. The "ethics" of the situation stem from the dilemma of whether (and under what circumstances) swimmers should be taken aboard the lifeboat.
Hardin compared the lifeboat metaphor to the Spaceship Earth model of resource distribution, which he criticizes by asserting that a spaceship would be directed by a single leader – a captain – which the Earth lacks. Hardin asserts that the spaceship model leads to the tragedy of the commons. In contrast, the lifeboat metaphor presents individual lifeboats as rich nations and the swimmers as poor nations.

Answer:
A novel about two modern-day explorers seeking a missing treasure deep in the wooded mountains
Explanation:
Harper enjoys mysteries and thrillers, so that marks out the drama about the young couple and the poetry written about nature (although it does talk about nature, which she likes, it does not have the thrill that she wants). However, she also does not enjoy sci-fi. This knocks out the short story about teenagers being abducted by aliens, even though it is about a camping trip. Now, there is only one left: the novel about the explorers seeking treasure in the mountains. It has the thrill that she desires, and it is set in the mountains. It is also at her reading level, as it is a novel as opposed to a short story. All in all, this is the text that I would recommend to Harper.
