In the excerpt provided in the question from "The Environmental Ethic" by E.O Wilson, the author is assessing the vast problems the human specie will face if more species become extinct.
<em><u>The technique that Wilson uses in the excerpt provided to convey important information to his readers is by using metaphors that appeal to a wide range of the reader's senses.</u></em> An example of this would be when he uses the term "potential biological wealth will be destroyed" referring to the negative impact on biology that the extinction of a specie will have. Or "Still undeveloped medicines, crops,..., will never come to light" to asses how multiple positive elements on the Earth will not be produced as a consequence of extinction. By using these metaphors, Wilson gets to explain a rather difficult and technical problem to a bigger audience, by appealing to their senses and common sense.

Last but not least all Megan is doing is just observing on what’s going on with her day with her family. Does that help?
