    Kosinski was young, he lied to the Nazis and everyone else who he encountered. He had to hide his Jewish identity and was always afraid of being exposed. When he was older, many believe Kosinski plagiarized other’s works and required his assistants to sign false releases for him. He was also a pathological liar. Because of these things, he was at risk of being exposed just like he had been in his childhood. (JK; pg. 319-329) The

    Being There - A Bit More Like Chance   While watching the movie Being There, the viewer begins to notice just how different the book and the movie are.

According to this division, all subjects and attributes thus either are or are not said of a subject/present in a subject (RAGP, 694-695).

    From an existentialism point of view, there is no right or wrong choice, since one gives an action value by the virtue of choosing it.
