Literal Meaning taking words in their usual or most basic sense without metaphor or any poetic device

Connotative Meaning Connotation refers to positive and negative associations that most words naturally carry with them, whereas denotation is the precise, literal definition of a word that might be found in a dictionary. Words such as home, family, country, and flag have positive connotations. Stingy, stubborn, picky have negative connotations. For example, the words childish, childlike and youthful have the same denotative, but different connotative, meanings. Childish and childlike have a negative connotation, as they refer to immature behavior of a person. Whereas, youthful implies that a person is lively and energetic.

Figurative meaning  Figures of speech such as metaphors, similes, and allusions go beyond the literal meanings of the words to give readers new insights.
