(He discusses many objections in his essay online. You just need to explain two of his objections in your own words.)2.

Give one example from a movie where a character contemplates whether his or her life is meaningless.4. What does Sartre mean when he says that “being precedes essence?” Identify a character from a movie who is caught in an existential question about what his or her essence should be.5. Explain how Nagel explains that death is a bad thing. despite the fact that death is not a bad state that you are ever in (because to be dead is to not exist in any state at all.)6.
