Borges and I

In the story of Borges and I, it was a short story that I really enjoyed because Borges is comparing himself as a writer and as a person and this makes the story interesting since he is viewing himself in different reflections. For example, when he describes himself in the writer's reflection, he views himself as a person who is very educated and formal. On the other hand, when he views himself as Borges the person who isn't a writer, but as a person who enjoys coffee, and eighteenth century typography and many other things. In the short story, it said that he also he enjoys the same things that he likes also, but in a form that it is in a way of hypocrisy. When he is describing himself as a person who is going to let himself go, and for Borge's lirterature to be alive in the future and for many people to keep on reading his literature for many years. It was very interesting to read because it was confusing at first to see in what parts of the reading he was comparing.
