In the poem "On Imagination" by Phyllis Wheatley, imagination was compared to that of a soaring bird probably because the bird can reach the highest of mountains, the clouds and even beyond the sky. Just like the imagination, the bird is limitless and with no boundaries. The bird can see everything up and out there that cannot be seen by common folks much like the imagination wherein everything is possible and anything and everybody exists. The bird just like the imagination flies so high to the vast outer space seeing wonders and beauties as they travel and fly leaving those in time when the imagination needs to go back to reality and the bird to his home.

Answer:
The best answer for the question: Which would be the best way of describing the structure of Thoreau´s observations in "Civil Disobedience", would be: He moves from a consideration of his surroundings to an evaluation of the state as a whole.
Explanation:
"Civil Disobedience", better known as Resistance to Civil Government is an essay that was written by American Henry David Thoreau and it was published in 1849. It must be remembered that Thoreau became a firm believer in the need for a simpler life, one where the laws of nature themselves, and self-regulation of man, were the two norms to guide a person´s life. To show the world this was true, he isolated himself in a cabin at Warren Pond, on his friend Emerson´s estate, to live a simpler life where only nature, and his own rules as a human, frameworked his life. From this experience Thoreau also began to reflect upon the work of government and its influence on people and although he did not invite to anarchy, because he did not believe in that, he did invite people to stand up against the abuses of governments, to defend their rights, and not fear the retaliations of government, as it was inherent in people to defend their basic rights. This is why the answer is the first option.
