1. I do not think that this song is appropriate for an intervention with this client. “Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore” is a religious selection which makes it inappropriate for use with a client who is struggling with her faith. This song mentions the River of Jordan, which in religious text, is the boundary of “The Promised Land”. The mention of this in the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for death and the journey to “Heaven”. The therapist should not present this because the client may be struggling with accepting death and may also be questioning her belief in “Heaven”. Using this song could trigger negative responses from the client that could exacerbate her pain response. Since she is already struggling with her faith, this song could

    Juxtaposition plays a huge part in the song as it places 2 completely opposite opinions side by side. P.F Slogan, using this feature, helps create a clear point of view in the listener’s head, showing how ridiculous certain decisions were. In the first verse he juxtaposes, “You’re old enough to kill” with “but not for voting” and ‘you don’t believe in war” with “then what’s that gun your totin.” Another example of juxtaposition in the song is “Hate you next door neighbour” with “but don’t forget to say grace” (4th Verse/Bridge). Metaphors such as “the world in a grave” (2nd verse) and “even the Jordan River has bodies floatin” (1st verse) causes the listener consider the implications this song was trying to display, a strong but balanced sense of fear, courage and indifference .…
