- Words are flying out like / endless rain into a paper cup
- Images of broken light which / dance before me like a million eyes
- Thoughts meander like a / restless wind inside a letter box
2.) Are any of these images symbols in context? Explain.
I don't see how any of these are symbols for anything, in or out of context. It all seems like imagery and figurative language to me, with no symbolism.
3.) Explain one symbol that you know to be a symbol. What makes it more than an image?
A peace sign is, obviously enough, a symbol for peace, although it also can be used to represent the destruction of Christianity. It is more than just an image because it represents a value - peacefulness - and a person's desire for peace, thus giving it a more wholesome and personal meaning.
