There are several layers of significance wrapped up in Writing My Wrongs' double meanings:
- Shaka is writing the story of the wrongs done to him and the wrongs he's done in this book.
- Shaka's writing in his journals was one of the things that led to him righting the wrongs he's done.
- This book itself is another step in righting those wrongs.
Pretty clever, huh? Shmoop loves a good pun, and the ones here are really smart. It all gets across one of the main messages of the book: writing about your thoughts and experiences can help you get the bad stuff out, do something good, and make a difference in the world.
