Across the Universe

1. a.) "...shines around me like a million suns." This is an image of literally 1,000,000 suns around a person and a lot of brightness.
    b.) "Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup." This is an image of rain falling into a paper cup.
    c.) "Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes." This is an image of light moving or dancing, kind of like a reflection or fragments of light.
2. The image of a cup filling up with rain is a symbol of someone being overwhelmed with information or emotions and not being able to contain or remember everything. Things start getting lost from our brains like water overflows out of a cup as it gets too full.
3. One symbol that I know to be a symbol is a dove symbolizing peace. Doves are graceful, calm birds that do not cause much trouble to people around them. They are very peaceful creatures, which makes them a symbol for peace. Doves are more than just birds and their character and behavior symbolizes peace.
