From the Paper:

"Take role-playing as a case in point. Keep in mind the Mark Twain stories in relation to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn? They take in many examples of play. If, as in a scene in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a youngster pretends to be a riverboat leader, there's a lot more to that role-playing than merely significant what a captain does and a number of basic boat expressions. There are approaches that go together with the role-playing: for the most part, the power of being captain and the happiness in the capability to make decisions.
Adults fit into place in comparable dramatic role-playing, often imagining themselves in a role that yields real mental benefit."
