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>
