Notes|Author|,Structure,Part 1,(1-2)the beginning part,present the first contrast:the first paragraph exemplifies the positive influence of active games on kids,while the second paragraph points out the enormous impact of passive games on children.,Part 2,(3-8)concretely illustrate the positive influence of active games on kids and the negative impact of passive electronic games or activities.,Part 3,(9-10)concluding part of the essay,indirectly emphasizes the awful impact on children exerted by such depressingly familiar games as are described in the eighth paragraph.,DR-p1 text,KIDS AND COMPUTERS:,DIGITAL,DANGER,Alison Sperry,1.Theres a familiar saying,Play is childrens work.,Through play,people who study child development tell us,children develop the skills and outlooks that,determine,the adults they will become.,Playing house or school,for example,helps them try on the roles of Mom or Dad or teacher.,Athletic activities help kids develop,coordination,learn to work as part of a group,and gain confidence and a sense of,fair play,.,Even solitary activities like reading connect children with the wider world,encouraging a sense of,empathy,with the greater human family,.,Detailed Reading,DR-p2a text,2.,But in very recent years,other forms of entertainment have had an enormous,impact,on growing children.,For many kids,computer activities and,video games,now take up much even most of the time formerly devoted to more traditional forms of play.,Entering adulthood now are the first Nintendo babies,a generation raised more on,Virtual Boy and Mortal Kombat,than baseball and,Uncle Wiggly,.How have they been affected by this change in the concept of play?Social scientists,parents,and talk show,pundits,will be debating the question for years to come.But we can start drawing our own conclusions.,Detailed Reading,DR-p2b text,As amusing and ingenious as electronic entertainment can be,children and society they live in are the losers when they rely on these forms of fun.,Unlike traditional games and toys,wired entertainment encourages kids to be unimaginative,socially immature,and crudely,desensitized,to the world around them.,Detailed Reading,DR-p3a text,3.Watch a child take a ball of Play-Doh in her hand and begin to roll it experimentally.First its a simple ball,then a snake.The snake might become a figure eight or a bracelet.She,coils,the bracelet on top of itself to create a pot that she uses for a make-believe tea party.,Next she smashes the pot back into a ball,which may next,morph,into a snowman,a horses head,a bunny,a sea serpent,or a skyscraper,.With nothing but her hands and an inexpensive chunk of flour and salt,she forms a universe in which she makes the rules and creates the inhabitants.,When she tires of it,she can,wad,it back into a shapeless mass that awaits her next creative impulse.,Detailed Reading,DR-p3b text,The act of playing with the Play-Doh,sparks,other interests maybe shell work with,modeling clay,that she can,bake,into a permanent form,or paints,or,papier-mch,Although she doesnt give what shes doing a great deal of thought,shes learning something valuable:I am a creator.,I can give my ideas,tangible,form.,Detailed Reading,DR-p4a text,4.,A video game,on the other hand,is cynically,programmed,to give the illusion of creativity,.The player is given various choices,at every turn,Which door will I go through?Which weapon will I use?What clue shall I read?But they are choices in the same sense that a pigeons,pecking,at a lever to get a grain of corn is a choice.The player is as much a tool of the game as the,joystick,.,Her momentary fun is unsatisfying because it leads not to any genuine sense of achievement but only to the,hypnotic,experience of watching someone elses creation,unfold,.,Detailed Reading,DR-p4b text,Hand a ball of Play-Doh to a child reared on the,sterile,adventure of video games,and youre apt to get a blank look and the hesitant question,What do I do with it?,The video game player learns her own lesson:I dont create.I let someone elses creativity happen in front of me.,Detailed Reading,DR-p5a text,5.Its a beautiful Saturday in autumn,and a group of kids are playing,a pickup game of soccer,.A dispute arises about whether a kick went over,the foul line,.Some of the kids are sure it did;others insist that it did not.,Voices are raised;tempers,flare,.,Maybe a,hothead,or two will,stalk,off the field.But the sky is crystal blue,and there are chores waiting at home.Making a quick calculation about the relative benefits of continuing the game,the players work out a solution.Maybe they replay the kick.Maybe they,flip a coin,.,Detailed Reading,DR-p5b text,Maybe they agree to say that the ball was fair,or foul.Their willingness to compromise,to accept the idea that such,give-and-take,is part of life,allows the game to proceed.The players move on,having learned a small lesson about getting along with others.,Detailed Reading,DR-p6a text,6.Contrast that scene with the world of the Internet chat rooms,where many adolescents spend uncountable hours.On that same lovely Saturday,a young Internet queen,hunches,over her keyboard,alone in her room.Her buddy list includes dozens,even scores,of friends shes never met.,Her fingers fly across the keyboard as she races from one dialogue box to another,keeping up multiple conversations.,These are peculiar conversations,however,including none of the,vulnerability,that is part of real-world friendship,.In the buddy-chat world,status is based on the ability to keep up a rapid pace of one-liners,insulting zingers,caustic put-downs,.,Detailed Reading,DR-p6b text,The chat queens most intimate friendships take the form of brief alliances with buddies who join with her to,flame,another chatter who has displeased them.,If that ally eventually becomes annoying,too,zap!She can instantaneously erase him from her buddy list,or even block him so he is unable to contact her again.Its no great loss.There are literally millions of new acquaintances waiting to be picked up in a chat room to fill that void.The lesson:I shouldnt have to work at relationships.They come and go instantly and,at my convenience,.If someone displeases me,I can make that person disappear.,Detailed Reading,DR-p7 text,7.When kids sit down to play Monopoly,they form a loosely knit group that is still part of the world around it.,When company arrives at the house,its no problem to halt the game briefly.,The players can greet visitors,laugh together,talk about the game,even quickly rearrange it to include new players.Even after the game continues,chatting with other players and non-players is easily accomplished.Despite their involvement in the game,the players are not ruled by it.Human contact,courtesy,and communication are not seen as threats to their enjoyment.They are learning that they can enjoy their own activities and still be sensitive to the larger world around them.,Detailed Reading,DR-p8a text,8.Contrast this board game scene with one that has become,depressingly,familiar in many living rooms.Visitors arrive at a home to find a child hunched in front of the TV set,video controls in his lap.Even when spoken to directly,he does not pull his eyes from the screen.,Im playing!is his furious response if the visitors,persist,in trying to engage his attention.,Far too often,even his parents,intimidated by the high-priced,high-tech gadget that has sucked their childs humanity away,tiptoe around rather than disturb him.,Detailed Reading,DR-p8b-9-10 text,The game itself is all too likely to be one that presents the most hideous suffering as entertainment,with the player in the role of psychotic killer maybe in Duke Nukem,with its twenty-three levels of nonstop,carnage,!or Bloody Roar,which offers the player more ways to,maim,crush,and,devour,your enemies than ever.,9.,The lesson?,10.,Isnt it too awful to think about?,Detailed Reading,DR:p1-2 Analysis,Paragraph 1-2 Analysis,These two paragraphsmaking up the beginning part of the text,introduce the topic of the essay.The first paragraph exemplifies the statement that through play children develop the skills and outlooks that determine the adults they will become.The second paragraph points out the enormous impact of electronic entertainment on children.,Detailed Reading,DR:p3-8 Analysis,Paragraph 3-8 Analysis,These paragraphs,the body of this persuasive essay,illustrate the positive influence of active games and activities on kids,and vividly exemplify the negative impact of passive electronic games or activities on children.Through the three contrasts presented in this part,the authors viewpoint becomes unequivocally clear.,Detailed Reading,DR:p9-10 Analysis,Paragraph 9-10 Analysis,These two paragraphs,only two short questions,serve as the conclusion of this expository essay.Short as the two questions are,they immediately plunge us into deep meditation.The writer does not answer the first question.Maybe he thinks that it is too obvious to answer.What is your answer to the first question?The second question is a rhetorical question that need not be answered.What is the emphatic or emphasized meaning expressed by the second question?,Detailed Reading,DR-Questions-p1,Detailed Reading,Paragraph 1:Question,What is the main idea of the first paragraph?,The first paragraph exemplifies the statement that through play children develop the skills and outlooks that determine the adults they will become.,DR-Questions-p2,Paragraph 2:Question,What is the main idea of the second paragraph?,Detailed Reading,The second paragraph points out the enormous impact of electronic entertainment on children.In other words,just as the writer concludes,As amusing and ingenious as electronic entertainment can be,children-and society they live in-are the losers when they rely on these forms of fun.Unlike traditional games and toys,wired entertainment encourages kids to be unimaginative,socially immature,and crudely desensitized to the world around them.,DR-Questions-p3-8-1a,Detailed Reading,Paragraph 3-8:Questions,1.Please explain the first contrast presented in this part in detail.,The first contrast is presented in paragraphs three and four.First,the writer describes how a child plays with a ball of Play-Doh and how she changes it from one shape into another;next,the writer concludes that although she is not giving much thought to what she is doing,she is learning something valuable:she realizes that she is a creator and that she can give her ideas a tangible form.Then,the writer recounts how a child plays a video game,pointing out that the player is as much a tool of the game as the joystick.,DR-Questions-p3-8-1b,Finally,the writer tells us how a child reared on the sterile diet of video games reacts when he is given a ball of Play-Doh,and draws the conclusion that the video game player learns his own lesson:he doesnt create;he just lets someone elses creativity happen in front of him.Thus,the writer creates a sharp contrast through both the vividly recounted examples and his own comments and conclusions about the different effects of the active game and the passive game upon the players.,Detailed Reading,DR-Questions-p3-8-2,Paragraph 3-8:Questions,2.How are the other two contrasts presented in this part?Detailed Reading,The other two contrasts presented in this part follow a similar pattern.The writer creates the two sharp contrasts both by vividly relating different activities and describing lessons the participants have learned through their experiences,and by offering his own conclusions about
