<u>Describe, in your own words, Sartre’s idea of the importance of reality and how that concept informs his view of cowardice.</u>

In his 1946 work <em>"Existentialism is Humanism",</em> Sartre explores existentialism and its effect on humanity. He states that a <u>coward</u> is: <em>"defined by the deed that he has done. What people feel obscurely, and with horror, is that the coward as we present him is guilty of being a coward."  </em>The action of the coward defines him, an aspect that can be changed only by him. If he is committed to change what defines him, he can erase the notion of being a coward.

Nevertheless, Sartre mentions that “<em>There is no reality except in action</em>”, and this reveals the <u>importance of reality</u>. Humans, regardless of the outcome of an unattainable future, are still in control of some aspects of their reality through their actions; thus, they can shape their individual futures in a way.

This is <u><em>"total freedom"</em></u> defined solely by the individual, as Sartre says: <em>"Those who hide from this total freedom, in a guise of solemnity or with deterministic excuses, I shall call cowards."  </em>What matters in someone's existence is what is decided. A <u>decision </u>is going to shape someone's reality and will define whether the person is a <em>hero</em> or a <em>coward</em>.<em>  </em>

What does comparing her life to her friend’s life suggest about Maya? Cite text evidence.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can't see the text so I am just going to base it off the sentence in positive and negative ways. So, first Maya comparing her life to her friends may come off as negative becuase she might be jelous of her friend's life. The positive otcome could be she is observant, she notices the little differences or similarities in their families. But, overall I would suggest Maya is the jelous type.
