The fundamental difference between both readings is that Zora Neale Hurston’s "Sweat" is a short story and "In Search of Our Mother's Garden" by Alice Walker is an essay.

Existentialism is defined as a philosophical theory that takes importance of the individual and its existence, and as an individual we become who we are by the actions, responsibilities, and the decisions we partake in our lives.
