Listening Journal: August 30, 2011

Three images in "Across the Universe," by The Beatles are: pools of sorrow and waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing through my open ears, and thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box. None of the three images I selected are symbols because they do not represent anything other than their concrete meaning. They simply paint a picture and do not have a figurative meaning. The color red generally symbolizes fire or blood. An image because a symbol when it stands for something else in the context of the piece of literature or artwork it is in.
