This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Read "Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World," by Jane McGonigal.

Whom is McGonigal trying to convince? What evidence supports your answer?

Answer: The detractors of games: "concerned parents, teachers, and

politicians", as well as nongamers who consider gaming a waste of time.

Explanation:

McGonigal explains that despite the growing concern about the increasing use of games as a waste of time, there´s historical evidence (the Lydians account) that games that provide an immersive experience and a distraction from their (metaphorical) hunger for things such as a better job or at least a sense of belonging to the community.

Mazyrski [523]

The author does not include a section exploring counterarguments or a conclusion.

Although there are many notable examples of successful writers who were known—at least in part—for their laziness, examples of people who were successful as a direct result of their diligence abound in a wide range of disciplines. Michael Jordan, for example, is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. During his career, he was known for his unrelenting competitiveness and attention to detail. Among authors, Ray Bradbury was known for writing one short story every week—an astounding rate of production. And many other successful authors have set page quotas and strict schedules for themselves. So, while devaluing productivity may have worked for some, focusing intently on it has worked for many others.

I find my counterargument fairly compelling. The author’s argument mainly consists of anecdotal evidence. It would be compelling if all of the available evidence supported the central claim. But the amount of anecdotal evidence that does not support the claim weakens the author’s argument and strengthens my counterargument.

Sophie [7]

Mammals (Mammalia) are a class of vertebrate homeothermic amniotes (of "warm blood") that possess milk-producing mammary glands with which they feed the young. Most are viviparous (with the notable exception of the monotrematas: platypus and echidnas). A clear example of a mammal is man and his best friend, the dog.

This should not be included in the notes, because it is scientifically approved that mammals have the capacity to produce milk and give this food to their young, which is vital for humans or dogs as in the example
