Which would be the best way of describing the overall structure of Thoreau’s observations in "Civil Disobedience"?

Thoreau begins with concrete observations of his immediate surroundings and experiences, including his time in jail. He uses those details to develop broader ideas about individual conscience, government, and the state as a whole. The essay is not focused only on imprisonment, nor does it mainly criticize the court or prison system.
