McGonigal chooses to use the phrase engage in games instead of play games. How does each phrase communicate a different tone? Why might McGonigal have chosen the phrase engage in games?

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

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:

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

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.

what is   the question

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
