PASSAGE 2:
While narrativity is a type of meaning,
interactivity, when put in the service of
entertainment, is a type of play. The combination of
narrativity and interactivity oscillates between two
forms: the narrative game, in which narrative
meaning is subordinated to the player’s actions, and
the playable story, in which the player’s actions are
subordinated to narrative meaning. Or, to put it
differently, in a narrative game, story is meant to
enhance gameplay, while in a playable story,
gameplay is meant to produce story.
The concepts of narrative game and playable
story reflect, in their opposition, the distinction made
by the French sociologist Roger Caillois between two
types of game: ludus and paidia. The best example of
paidia games is building imaginary scenarios with
toys, using them, in the words of Kendall Walton, as
“props in a game of make-believe.” These games do
not aim at a specific goal, and they do not lead to
losing or winning. The pleasures of paidia reside in
the free play of the imagination, in adopting foreign
identities, in forming social relations, in building
objects, in exploring an environment, and above all
in creating representation: paidia games are
fundamentally mimetic activities. If there are rules,
they are spontaneously created by the participants,
as when a group of children decides that a certain
tree will be the house of the wolf, and they can be
renegotiated on the fly. Ludus games, by contrast,
are strictly controlled by pre-existing rules accepted
by the participants as part of a basic game contract,
they lead to clearly define states of winning or losing,
and their pleasure resides in the thrill of competition
and in the satisfaction of solving problems.
What I call a narrative game is a ludus
activity. If there is one contribution that digital
technology has made to the design of games, it is
their narrativization. By this term I mean the
transformation of what used to be abstract playfields
(such as chess boards and football fields) into
concrete fictional worlds populated by recognizable
objects and indivituated characters. The main
difference between an abstract game like soccer or
ACTS ACHI & AHIA, INC.
4-2
– S e t A 4
chess and a narrativized video game like Half-Life,
Max Payne, or Grand Theft Auto is that in an abstract
game the goals of players are only made desirable by
the rules of the game (Who would, in real life, be
interested in kicking a ball into a net, or in moving
tokens on a board?), while in a narrativized game the
player pursues the kind of goals that people may
form in everyday life or in their fantasies. But in the
intensity of the action, players may forget whether
they are terrorists or counter-terrorists, space aliens
or defenders of the earth: in a narrative game, the
player plays to win, to beat the game, and story is
mostly a lure into the game world.
While ludus inspires narrative games, the
spirit of paidia infuses playable stories. In a playable
story there is no winning or losing: the purpose of the
player is not to beat the game, but to observe the
evolution of the story world. Playable stories induce
a much more aesthetic pleasure than narrative games
because the player is not narrowly focused on goals.
For me the essence of the playable story is captured
by what I once heard a little girl say about the game
The Sims: “Guess what I managed to do with my Sims?
I made the father and the mother drown in the pool,
and now the kids are alone in the house and they can
do whatever they want.”
211. Which of the following statements would the
author be likely to agree?
A. In a playable story, the pleasure of the
game did not come from reaching a state
defined by rules, but in coaxing a good
story out of the system. Commented [A7]:
B. The pleasure of narrative game resides in
the vast imagination of the participants.
C. The users in both playable story and
narrative game aim to manipulate one or
more characters in the fictional world.
D. Both playable story and narrative game
aim to manipulate.
212. Which of the following ideas is NOT included in
this passage?
A. Paidia games are primarily imitative
activities.

B. Ludus games are strictly manipulated by a

C. In a playable story, the purpose of the
player is to observe the development of

D. In a narrativized game, the goals of the

fantasy.
213. Which of the following is not a situation in a

As children often labeled our “hope,” so we
must recognized that this phantom --- the child who
never existed, the child we wish we might have been,
the child who was lost --- is often indicative of fears
of the future. Child sacrifice is a common trope in our
society. And beneath it lurks questions of desire,
identity, and humanity.
I begin with “The Dream of the Burning Child”
because Suzzane Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy
dreams the same dream, representing a childhood Commented [W121]:
that is threatened, lost, and unheard. As Katniss
Everdeen is sent to the Hunger Games, she is driven
by the desire to survive. But, as Katniss’s efforts to
preserve her life must come at the expense of other
children’s lives, desire in all forms --- the desire to
survive, to eat, to love --- is troubled. Children are
lost and voices are silenced, and as Katniss fights
against the dictates of the society that demands this
sacrifice she becomes “the girl on fire,” fighting
against the impotency of the burning child’s cry,
demanding that the adult world take notice (Collins,
Hunger 177). Katniss, a sacrificial child, burns with
passion, desire, and eventually, with literal fames, as
children are forced to become killers and technology Commented [W122]:

PASSAGE 17:
The lives of Ancient Greeks revolved around
eris, a concept by which they defined the universe.
They believed that the world existed in a condition of
opposites. If there was good, then there was evil, if
there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then
sorrow; war then peace; and so on. The Greeks
believed that good eris occurred when one held a
balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as
they arose. It was a kind of ease of living that came
from trying to bring together the great opposing
forces in nature. Bad eris was evident in the violent
conditions that ruled men’s lives. Although these
things were found in nature and sometimes could not
be controlled, it was believed that bad eris occurred
when one ignored a problem, letting it grow larger
until it destroyed not only that person, but his family
as well. The Ancient Greeks saw eris as a goddess:
Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as
trouble.
One myth that expresses this concept of bad
eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the

river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns
that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to
destroy its father. Not wanting to ruin the father, Zeus
convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal whose
child could never challenge the gods. He promises
her, among other things, the greatest wedding in all
of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite Commented [W191]:
whomever they please. This is one of the most mixed
marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned
from it still applies today. They do invite everyone . . Commented [W192]:
. except Eris, the Goddess of Discord. In other words,
instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed
marriage, they turn their backs on them. They
refused to deal directly with their problems and the
result is tragic. In her fury, Eris arrives, ruins the
weddings, causes a jealous feud between the three
major goddesses over a golden apple, and sets in
place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The Commented [A93]:
war would take place 20 years in the future, but it
would result in the death of the only child of the bride
and groom, Achilles. Eris would destroy the parents’
hopes for their future, leaving the couple with no
legitimate heirs to the throne.
Hence, when we are told, “If you don’t invite Commented [acts94]: English editorial
(5 Questions)
trouble, trouble comes,” it means that if we don’t deal
with our problems, our problems will deal with us . .
. with a vengeance! It is easy to see why the Greeks
considered many of their myths learning myths, for
this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which
can destroy us.
288. Which of the following statements can be
inferred from the passage about Zeus?
A. He feared having an affair with Thetis and,
subsequently, a child by her. Commented [A95]:
B. He wanted to be the great king of mankind.
