Assignment:

Write a 500 words short essay on the reading Human Emotions by Jean-Paul Sartre ""A Sketch of a Phenomenological Theory" using an example of EITHER passive fear, or active fear, how, fear, as emotion:

1) transforms the world that you face in everyday life;

2) achieves that transformation through a modification of your bodily conduct (comportement, in French) toward things, such that

3) the transformation is 'magical' (in what sense is it magic?) and 4) the 'magic trick' is driven by and responds to the world as challenging your efforts to act freely and efficaciously.

Finally: in 1 to 2 sentence: indicate your response to Sartre's claim about emotion and/or its relation to freedom (e.g., is it insightful, helpful, compelling, plausible, implausible); indicate the sorts of reasons that would support your response (but you don't need to go into detail, just point toward them).
