Intertextuality in "Blindness" by Jorge Luis Borges

This is the topic given by my professor: Intertextuality: Examine how 1 essayist engages with, responds to, redefines, or alludes to other authors or pieces of writing. How does the essayist respond to what has been said? How does the essayist construct a conversation or debate between texts and/or people, and what is the purpose or result of this engagement? How does the essayist represent himself or herself in contrast to, in response to, or as a part of other authors or texts? What is the purpose or result of this intertextuality, and how does it affect the reader’s interpretation of the essay? Please make sure all these questions are answered in the essay For the Works Cited, please use the original publication date of the essay Please write clear and argumentative topic sentences for each paragraph I have attached a similar essay that I wrote before with ideas and quotes of intertextuality seen in Borges' essay, but please don't directly copy from this essay The limit for this essay is 1100 words max (works cited is not included in the word count) and it has to be written in Times New Roman font, 12-pt, and double spacedI have also attached a document with lots of good notes about "Intextuality" in Blindness by Jorge Luis BorgesPlease ensure that the thesis statement is succinct and argumentative, making a claim about how Borges uses intertextuality and why it is important
