peakers argue for a widespread change they hope to see in their society. However, both pieces come from different literary periods. Patrick Henry delivered his speech in colonial America, whereas Ellen Sirleaf Johnson delivered her speech on today’s world stage to the United Nations. Compare and contrast the authors’ use of language across literary periods to advocate for change. Use evidence from both speeches to support your response.

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>
