Choice of details: should support the purpose
organization: Some things are good for some purposes.
e.g. cause effect, shows the good or bad effects of a purpose. The author can support the purpose or no.
chronological can show how something has changed over time.
etc.
Try to identify the main structure and how the passage is organized and how it supports the main idea.

Answer: This paragraph fits into the larger structure of Thoreau’s essay since it is the introduction paragraph and provides his claims as well as what he believes in his arguments to support the overall essay. The effectiveness of how clear, convincing, and engaging the introduction is is very effective since Thoreau is listing logical reasons, claims, and his arguments in order to let the reader know what to expect as well as what he will demonstrate in the essay. In the introduction paragraph, Thoreau states that “Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government…”. Here he states his opening evidence to support his claims and argument.
