INTERTEXTUALITY is...
A text's meaning is shaped by another text.
It is about the interrelationship between related works or similar works of literature that mirror and influence how the audience interpret the text.
It also refers to the author's borrowing and modification of a prior text or to a reader's referencing of one text in reading another.
Technically speaking, intertextuality is a combination of a Latin prefix Inter which means "between", "among", "in the midst of", "mutually", "together", and "reciprocally" and Textuality which refers to all attributes that determine the communicative content under analysis as an object of study. It is not a literary or rhetorical device, but rather a fact about literary texts - the fact that they are all intimately interconnected. This is applicable to all texts such as, works of philosophy, novels, films, newspaper articles, songs, and the like. In order to further understand intertextuality, it's important to understand the broad definition of the word "text" itself. Each text is greatly affected by all the texts that came before it, since those texts have influenced the author's thinking and exquisite choices. Remember that every text, on its broadest sense is intertextual.
Julia Kristeva was the inventor of the term "intertextuality." She was influenced by both Ferdinand de Saussure and Mikhail Bakhtinian through their models and attempts to combine their major theories toward the origin of language.
Types of Intertextuality
a. Deliberate Intertextuality forging a relationship between the old text and the new one.
b. Latent Intertextuality pertains to everything you've ever seen or read that sticks somewhere in your memory and affects your understanding of the world which contribute to building your specific worldview which, in turn, determines how you write or create art.
Intertextual Figures
Allusion - a figure of speech where an object from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly with another. It is left to the audience to do or make the direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference.
Ex. You don't have to be William Shakespeare to write poetry. (William Shakespeare was used here to explain ones prowess in writing poetry.)
Quotation- is a written form of the oral echo. It can be in tagged and untagged form. It can also be direct and indirect.
Ex. According to violin player Itzhak Perlman, "The most important thing to do is really listen."
Calque - is a loanword from the French noun calque which means tracing; imitation; close copy. It means to borrow a word or phrase from another language while translating its components, so as to create a new lexeme in the target language.
Plagiarism - When using intertextuality, it is usually a small excerpt of a hypotext that assists in the understanding of the new hypertext's original themes, characters or contexts. While this does seem to include intertextuality, the intention and purpose of using of another's work, this is now what allows intertextuality to be excluded from this definition.
Translation-means to transfer in a stable meaning. It is the process of translating words or text from one language into another.
Pastiche- imitates the style or character of the work of one or more other artists.
Parody-any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical or comical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice

Story
The Mysterious Treasure Map
Once upon a time there is a hated love in a small town called Oakville.(oxymoron), where they found a huge and muddy cave (visual) there lived a group of adventurous friend s named Alex, Emma, and Max. One hot sunny day (thermal), they stumbled upon an old, dusty rough(tactile) book with a nostalgic smell (olfactory) in the attic of their grandmother's house. The book contained a mysterious treasure map! Excitedly, the friends gathered around the map and started deciphering the clues as if there were no tomorrow (simile). The first clue led them to the town's historic library. As they entered, they were greeted by lively dancing books (personification) together with Mrs. Jenkins, who had been waiting for them.
"Welcome, young explorers!" Mrs. Jenkins said as fiercely as a lion, with a smile on her face. (simile) "To find the next clue, you must just stare at the word hunt, now hurry up and keep moving!!(irony) "In cracking the first code of the encrypted message, they embarked on a journey to solve a word hunt, unraveling the secrets hidden within the entire document. (Synecdoche). Look for the following vocabulary words hidden in these book titles: adventure, quest, treasure, discovery, and mystery.
The friends eagerly scanned the universe, searching for the hidden words. (hyperbole) After a few minutes, they found all the books and arranged them in the correct order. Mrs. Jenkins was impressed by their determination and handed them the next clue.
The second clue took them to the towns park, where they had to complete a vocabulary challenge. They had to find objects in the park that matched the given vocabulary words: explore, ancient, valuable, uncover, and enigma. Each time they found an object, they had to use it in a sentence to demonstrate its meaning. As the friends completed the things they needed to deal with (euphemism), they felt their vocabulary skills growing stronger. They thanked Mirs Jenkins for her guidance and eagerly followed the next clue.
The third clue led them to took a little stroll deep into the forest (understatement), where they had to solve a riddle using vocabulary words. The riddle went like this: "I am a hidden treasure, buried in the ground, unearth me carefully, for I am quite profundity ancient markings and a gleam so bright, I hold the secrets of the past, shining in the light. What am 17 After some brainstorming, the friends realized that the answer was an artifact. They dug in the indicated spot and found a small, ancient artifact that shimmered in the sunlight.
Excitedly, they returned to their grandmother's house, in an angel in disguise, where they discovered a hidden compartment in the attic. (Metaphor). Inside, they found a chest filled with gold coins, precious gems, and a note that read, Your victory echoes through the halls of the challenges. (Metonymy) together with another note saying "Congratulations, brave adventurers! You have successfully completed the word hunt and found the treasure. Use your newfound vocabulary skills to continue exploring the world!" and they give themselves a clap of hands for each other's victory(auditory). The friends celebrated their victory, they prepared a juicy medium-rare steak with a sweet and spicy seasoning (gustatory), knowing that their vocabulary journey had just begun. They thanked each other for their teamwork and promised to embark on more exciting adventures together

Poem
"Roses are red"
Radiant red roses in the romantic creation
Blooming in a rainy season,
Fragrant and exotic like berries,
A roses taste like a sweet cherries
Raindrops on rough leaves bind
Leaves danced in the wind
Like a million colorful butterflies grind
Fluttering butterflies riding with the vined
Like the birds in the sky "tweet, tweet"
Go on, go on, flowers have also a heart
"One only dies once" on heat
Those flowers are really wet
Those flowers are getting bald
Flowers can't handle drowning dryness to bend,
So they need a hand,
Before the top is getting thin in the end.
