"Across the Universe" by the Beatles
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 can be used as both an image and a symbol (think visually).
Three images are that I got are;
1. "the words flying out...", I just see a bunch of words floating through the air, caught in the wind.
2. "restless like a wind inside a letter box", I see a box with the lid trying to open but it can't.
3. "Shining around like a thousand suns", I see a bright light, so bright it is hard to look at.
The words flying out symbolize the outgoingness and freedom. Its more than an image because when I see the imagery it makes me feel "free". The drum major is a symbol for power and unity. It is more than an image because it has emotion behind it and whenever I see a drum major it makes me feel included and makes me want to be a better leader.
