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

Grey Eagle had White Raven over to visit one day. Grey Eagle had many treasures in his home that he kept in small jars he hung on the wall. He had the sun, the moon, the stars, fresh water, and fire stashed in the jars. White Raven felt it was greedy of Grey Eagle to keep all these things for himself, so when Grey Eagle left the room, White Raven stole them all and flew away. He wanted to share the treasures, so first he hung the sun in the sky to light up his journey. He did the same with the moon and stars. Then, he poured the fresh water on land to help create rivers and lakes. He took fire out of its jar and looked around for a place to put it. The smoke from the fire blew in his feathers as he carried it, and slowly turned him black. That is how the Earth received its gifts and how the White Raven became black.

April Fools' Day is celebrated around the world, although it varies somewhat from country to country. In the United States, for example, it's a day to play practical jokes. In France, where the holiday is known as Poisson d'Avril, or April Fish, people secretly tape paper fish on their friends' backs. A common April Fools' prank in Portugal is to throw flour on someone; in Scotland, the most popular trick involves sending someone on a useless errand. Denmark celebrates April Fools' Day on April 1, but some people there celebrate again in May. Maj-kat, on May 1, is yet another day for jokes and pranks in the spring.
