Question

Literal meanings have hidden messages. true or false please help

Answer 1

Literal meanings are meanings which are explicitly given to the readers or the person being told to. In this type of meaning, the person doesn’t need to think the words too much or ponder on the meaning because they could easily understand what the other person or the author implies. Meanwhile connotative meanings are meanings using different figures of speech or symbolism that the person still needs to think it over before knowing the actual meaning of the word, sentence or story.  

Answer 2

This is false. Literal means that there are absolutely no hidden meanings and that you should value and analyze and understand a sentence exactly as it is. There are no metaphors or figurative expressions.
