Question

In 100 words, the song "She Thinks His Name Was John". What type of values (either cultural or social) does the speaker hold? For example, what does the song encourage the audience to believe ( use specific lines from the lyrics to support the answer)?

Answer 1

the song "She Thinks His Name Was John" brings out the plight of a woman who mistakenly had a one night stand and affected by AIDS. This consequence of her drunken one night stand spoils her happiness throughout her life. She is not able to marry anyone, raise children or enjoy any other social activities. This song reminds the audience of the values different cultures have on pleasure, individual freedom and misuse of freedom. The woman in the song also was drunk and she is not able to remember the man with whom she slept with. The song thus persuades the audience to make decisions rationally and use their freedom with responsibility by overcoming momentary temptations of physical pleasure.
