Document Summary
Borges is a man hat although people may not like what he says, they still have respect for him. In his conversation with stern so far, they talk about borges style of writing. Borges writing consist of short, 7-8 pages in length stories or poems. When he writes, he not only puts some reality aspect into, but he writes in a very formal, clear, and highly understandable matter- in which he knows that he has done very well in doing so. He just lets his dreams fly and the facts that are present, if true, is not his concern because of as he writes what is reminds after everything is his own memory. Borges does not consider him a philosopher, even though when he writes he takes some segments from different philosophers (that he agrees with) and writes it in his story. He talks about writing about heroes and the purpose of their epic which is to fight and die.
