This question refers to the text <em>Reality Is Broken: Why Games  Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World </em>by Jane McGonigal

Answer:

McGonigal chooses to use the word engage games instead of play games because this activity went beyond just playing, it was really something done for needed.

Explanation:

 Let's start directly with the following quote:

<em>"The plan adopted against the famine was to engage in games one day so entirely as not to feel any craving for food ..." </em>

We can clearly see from these lines that the author's goal was not to play for fun and without worries. It was something that had to be done to combat famine.

She had to really get involved in this activity so she could forget about hunger.

That is the reason why the author decides to choose these words.

deff fn [24]

If I am elected as the {Insert School Name Here} Sports Minister, one of my main priorities will be making sure that everyone at our school is interested in our programs and what we are doing, leading everyone to be more invested in the state and well-being of our school, qualities that all students should feel inclined to exhibit. Secondly, ensuring that no on is ignorant to their peers and how they feel. It's hard to make a school as good as it can be without helping everyone to feel welcome and seen at school. As Sports Minister, even when it doesn't relate to physical activity, I will be sure to prioritize the mental health and wellness of my classmates. Finally, as expected of Sports Minister, I will do my best to encourage all of our students to be active and energetic while at school. Thank you for offering me the opportunity to apply for this role!

(Not sure if this is quite what you were looking for, but I hope it works out! Good luck!)

Why did Elie Wiesel vow not to speak of his experience immediately after the Holocaust?
dezoksy [38]

Answer: He said:

But not all Holocaust survivors are willing or able to speak of their experiences. I am intimately familiar with the choice to stay silent. My father was a nine-year-old Jewish boy when Nazi Germany invaded his native Poland. He was one of the lucky ones, eventually saved by deportation to Soviet territory where he nearly starved to death in a slave labor camp. Almost his entire extended family—well over one hundred people—were killed. For decades after the war my father suppressed his pain, never speaking of what he had endured and dodging questions when pressed by friends or strangers. This silence was his way of healing and building a new life in the pluralistic America he so loved. My father became a professor of Soviet studies, dedicating his life to fighting totalitarianism and anti-Semitism from a comfortable professional distance.
