Complex sentence - please help
Dominque sees skyscrapers as molten fire that thrusts and bursts through the sky leaping to freedom.
In this sentence, Dominque is the subject. Sees is the verb. But is skyscraper(s) a subject (they are performing an action) or would it be considered a direct object (Dominque is seeing them).
Also what about sky? Would it be a direct object or indirect object? From Dom's perspective sky should be an indirect object but sky is also the principal recipient of the thrusting and bursts. Please help.
Also I'm pretty sure the words below are organized correctly.
Dom, skyscrapers, sky, freedom = nouns
molten = adjective
sees, thrusts, bursts, leaping = verbs
and = conjucture
as, that = prepositions
