Patrick Henry states that Great Britain has no other enemy but the colonists - he says that its entire army is aimed towards the colonists and keeping them safe and part of its kingdom. He says that the colonists have tried for a long time to talk to the British government and make their lives easier, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. This is why he says the following:
<span><em>If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
</em></span><em />He ends his speech by stating his famous sentence - Give me liberty or give me death!

The fact that Virginia Woolf was born in England in 1882--a time when women were not as free to pursue a career, to be independent, or even to have their own privacy at times--was one of the reasons why she wrote A Room of One's Own. It discusses feminist ideas and criticizes the traditional hierarchies and the male-dominant society in which she lived in. Her essay was a result of feeling oppressed by that society.
The Importance Of Life. Because life is important, our own life is important. But at the same time, because life is important, our own life is not important. ... With this understanding, we can let go of self centeredness and practice selflessness with our life so that we can be awake and help others.
hope this helps
