Identify three images in this song. Are any of the images also symbols? If so, explain. Choose one symbol that you know to be a symbol and explain it. What makes it more than just an image? Explain how the word circle can be used as both an image and a symbol (think visually).
Images from “Across the Universe”
~”Endless rain into a paper cup” causes the reader to imagine a small paper cup with rain overflowing into it.
~”Sounds of Laughter” creates the image of a bunch of people in a room laughing and joking around. For me, these people are my fencing friends.
~”Millions of suns” creates the image of a person surrounded in a million suns.
“Millions of suns” is a symbol for love. When one is in love, they may as if they are surrounded by something incredible.
The cross is a symbol for Christianity. This is a symbol because Jesus, God’s son, was hung on a cross.
The circle can be both an image and a symbol because it could symbolize something, like a group of friends, all connected. It is also an image because if one is explaining a circle, many people could say exactly what was being explained to them.
