Answer:

Two examples of figurative language used by Douglass on his speech are Allusion and Synecdoche.

Explanation:

When he says: <em>"What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice." , </em>he expresses it as if it was a desire of his own, when in reality the effect he wants to achieve is that people realize that it is not a desire of him, but a <em>right</em> of all black men. There is when he is using Allusion.

When he says: <em>“What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us!..."</em>, he is appealing to the racism feeling of the word "<em>Negro</em>", instead of using the term "black man", to make a bigger impact on the listeners. This is where Synecdoche is used.

Finally he manages to have power in his speech, receiving an applause after his words.
