Are both of the following sentences correct? If both are correct, then what is the difference between their meaning?

1: Students sat quietly through the long speech.

2: Students sat quietly throughout the long speech.

It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.
