Discuss with reference to the two texts-Consider the number of times that the verb ‘remember’ (‘recuerdo’) appears in Borges’ story.

I’m an international student of master in comparative literature the module of this essay is called Literature and Medicine. one of the topics we discussed was concerning memory, the human brain and neurology and how they are represented in literary texts. The essay has to be comparative in nature and between the two texts : The Twin from Oliver Sacks’s book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Jorge Luis Borges’s story ’Funes the Memories’ . The essay must cover the following:- Compare and contrast the literary and medical representations of cases of prodigious memory in Borges and Sacks.- ’To value forgetting instead of vilifying it is to recognize that the forgetting of many details of daily life is not only practically useful – in order to become less distracted and preoccupied – but, in fact, necessary to our well-being’. Assess the significance of this statement in relation to Borges’s ’Funes the Memorious’-’The extreme totalisation of perception, whether of sight or memory, would produce prodigious, though pathologically limited individuals trapped in their abnormal sensory and cognitive faculties’. Discuss with reference to the two texts-Consider the number of times that the verb ‘remember’ (‘recuerdo’) appears in Borges’ story. What is the effect of this repetition?-How does Borges’ critique of an extreme form of remembering manifest itself in the story?- Consider the usefulness of approaching memory through the counterphenomenon of forgetting in Borges. How are these conflicting concepts addressed in his texts?*Primary Reading:The Twin from Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a HatJorge Luis Borges, ’Funes the Memories’*Secondary ReadingQuian Quiroga: Borges and Memory(Patricia is my professor btw): Patricia Novillo-Corvalan: Explorers of the human brain: The Neurological insights of Borges and Ramon Y CajalP.s.Im really not after an A, all i want is an original essay that will make me pass this module and is free from plagiarism. my professor has written so much about the two authors and she said she doesn’t like too much autobiographical information about them in the essay.
