Answer:
Literal language uses words exactly according to their conventionally accepted meanings or denotation.
Figurative (or non-literal) language uses words in a way that deviates from their conventionally accepted definitions in order to convey a more complicated meaning or heightened effect.
In this case, the word "raw" illustrates the characteristics of the nouveau riche of the 1920s. As people who have acquired wealth in only one generation; they, therefore, do not have the cultural background in which refinement and good taste is acquired.
I have a lot of little goals I hope to accomplish during my life, but I think the main one is to be happy. No matter where I end up, or what I end up doing, who I end up with, I hope to be happy. People try to plan every single moment of their lives to ensure success, but in reality, no one can predict the future. One of my favorite quotes is by Harry Styles, "If you're happy doing what you're doing, then nobody can tell you you're not successful." We can plan everything down to how many kids we hope to have and their names, but in reality you never know how something will make you feel until you're feeling it. So, I hope whatever life has in store for me, I feel content and happy.
