Interesting in “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention” by Patrick Henry we note his use of figurative language to buttress his point and to compel his listening audience. He said emphatically, "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."

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,

"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."
