COMPARE AND CONTRAST: In both speeches—“Speech to the Second Virginia Convention” and “Remarks at the UN General Assembly”—the s

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>

Answer: The two correct answers are: “the townspeople” and "the judge (“jedge”)". Taken from the novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain (1884), Twain ridicules the townspeople and the judge in the excerpt presented above. In this passage from Chapter 23 of the novel, the duke and the dauphin make a performance so brief that the crowd nearly attacks them. They recited lines from Shakespeare in some shows, but they did not know the full meaning of the words. Twain here ridicules the townspeople  and the judge because of their level of ignorance; townspeople could be easily deceived, since they did not have a basic education. Twain ridicules them through the irony in the judge’s statement saying that the townspeople truly believe it is more sensible to devise a plan to fool the others too instead of admitting they have been fooled. Finally, Huck and the duke did not perform a third show and escaped before the townspeople coming to get their revenge attack them.
