Hello there!
Big Woes for the “Little Magician”:
1. Van Buren followed Jackson's coattails right into the White House, but Van Buren was no Jackson... Jackson was the people's president, a common guy himself.
2. Van Buren was very smart, crafty, experienced, and effective, but he lacked the "people's touch" and personality of a Jackson. While on the other hand, Old Hickory personified the rising "New Democracy."

Incomplete question. I assumed information about literal meanings and figurative meanings would make the question clear.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An important difference between literal and figurative meaning is in the way words are understood.
Literal meanings as used in literary works involve understanding words exactly how they are generally understood or denotation. For example, saying 'I need a book' would be understood literally. However, saying 'He is a shining star' would be understood for its Figurative meanings, which means 'he is admirable or successful'.
