What is the literal meaning and deeper meaning?
For Zuko by Dave Harris
I too am afraid of being a good man. And yes, I too
have been beaten by water until it felt like a baptism.
And yes, I too would burn the whole forest down
just to feel the warmth against my skin.
Literal means the literal meaning of the work. Deeper meaning means the thourough true reason and meaning that the author is trying to convey. You have to fully understand it, connect, and figure out the deep meaning.
