"Across the Universe" by the Beatles

-Identify 3 images in this song
1. "Endless rain in a paper cup"- This verse put an image of a plastic cup with water overflowing it.
2. "They slither past"- The word slither reminded me of a snake slithering on the ground.
3. "Shines around like a million suns"- This reminded me of a spot light or a disco ball.

-Are any of these images symbols in context? Explain.
The verse about the million suns could be a symbol because it is referring to love shining like a million suns so this could be symbolizing that the love is in a happy and warm relationship because light symbolizes happiness and warmth.

- Explain one symbol that you know to be a symbol. What makes it more than an image?
One symbol I know is a red heart. This is world-wide symbol for love and this is more than an image because people relate love to their hearts so when someone sees a heart, they think of love.
