The Five Levels of Reading

According to my Writer's Craft teacher there are five levels of reading. Those five levels are:

1) Literal
2) Emotional
3) Moral
4) Symbolic
5) Hyperbolic (Anagogical)

With this new information, my class is supposed to devise a list of the best movies and/or books we have seen that fit into all of the five categories. This is my list:

1) Literal
-"The Black Donnellys", written by Thomas P. Kelly

2) Emotional
-"I Am Legend"

3) Moral
-"Aesop's Fables Collection"

4) Symbolic
-"Fahrenheit 451", written by Ray Bradbury

5) Hyperbolic
-"This is Spinal Tap"

So, there you have it. That's my list. Maybe you'll want to watch or read some of them. If I may take this opportunity, "This is Spinal Tap" is quite the movie and it's just so darn funny! I suggest you watch it.
