The Topic Sentence

A topic sentence is the most important part in a paragraph. It is the first literary technique used, and its general effect is 'slow revelation of action'.The topic sentence is what sets the tone for the paper, and lets the reader know what it is going to be about. If your paper is going to have a list of ideas of techniques in it, the topic sentence will introduce them. In order to form a topic sentence the writer can ask himself: how does slowly unfolding the action produce suspense?
