<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>
I think it would be “very beautiful” but I’m not sure- good luck with your work!!
Answer:
He expected to be saved but instead he lost his faith
Explanation:
Young langston went to the church revival with his aunt with the hope that he would encounter Christ. But instead his experience ended up making him change his belief system spiritually.
The story shows disappointment, as hughes had to lie about his feelings and truth to everyone. This childhood event changed his life forever. After waiting for a long time in the church to see a light that signified he had been saved by Jesus, he did not and lied to everyone about it. This event made him lose trust that there was a Jesus.
I belive it’s counter claim or rebuttal
