Aside from the French wars of religion‚ the assassination of King Henry IV was one of the major events which had left a significant impact onto the French.

I can use my phone to look up anything at the tip of my fingers. I totally agree with Thoreau’s own words from his excerpt. Also he uses a lot of good vocabulary.
