Summarize the authors words and describe what she accomplishes in the 3 paragraphs below.

Paragraph 1 - What do ancient dice made from sheep's knuckles have to do with the future of computer and video games? More than you might expect.

Paragraph 2 - Herodotus invented history as we know it, and he has described the goal of history as uncovering moral problems and moral truths in the concrete data of experience. Whether Herodotus' story of an eighteen-year famine survived through gameplay is true or, as some modern historians believe, apocryphal, its moral truths reveal something important about the essence of games.

Paragraph 3 - We often think of immersive gameplay as "escapist," a kind of passive retreat from reality. But through the lens of Herodotus' history, we can see how game could be a purposeful escape, a thoughtful and active escape, and most importantly an extremely helpful escape. For the Lydians, playing together as a nearly full-time activity would have been a behavior highly adaptive to difficult conditions. Games made life bearable. Games gave a starving population a feeling of power in a powerless situation, a sense of structure in a chaotic environment. Games gave them a better way to live when their circumstances were otherwise completely unsupportive and uninhabitable.

Answer 1

Answer:  The first paragraph is the "hook" to get the reader interested. The writer is showing that ancient games and modern games-- even future games have something in common.

The second paragraph is an example. The writer says that there is some evidence that playing games  may have helped people endure a famine, and there is some essence in games that reveals moral truths.

The third paragraph explains the example and extends a logical argument that games make life more bearable as an escape from reality, and give the players a sense of accomplishment amid chaos or strife.

Explanation:

It makes me wonder if the rest of the essay may go on to explore the role of rules, and a sense of fair play that may be important in chaotic situations to help people remember that you have to "play fair" and "take your turn" especially when everyone is experiencing the same stressful conditions.
