Explanation:
Interesting in<em> “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention”</em> by Patrick Henry we note his use of figurative language to buttress his point and to compel his listening audience. He said emphatically, <em>"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts." </em>
Meanwhile, Ellen Sirleaf Johnson uses similar figurative language used by Henry, depicting the inaction of the world's government as a form of keep silent. She said,
<em>"the call for the reform of the United Nations...rings louder in its definite silence.. we urge the nations of the world...to bring this long silence to an end."</em>
Answer: pun is a joke that has more than 1 meaning.
Explanation:
One of the first puns in Julius Caesar comes in Act II scene i. Two tribunes (a type of government official during Caesar's time) are patrolling the streets and attempting to clear out the crowds of people who are celebrating Caesar's recent victory. Since all the workers have taken a holiday to celebrate, the tribunes ask the men who they are and why they are not in their shops. One man responds by saying 'I am a mender of bad soles.' The officials press him further and he tells them to not be angry with him, but if their soles are worn out, he can fix them. When the word 'sole' is spoken, it could be interpreted as 'soul.' The cobbler is playing on the fact that sole has more than one meaning, depending on the context.
