Topic is Topic
Topic sentences are an important element to a paragraph because it has the job of hooking the reader, introducing the chronological order of the paragraph, and striking interest with the reader. The topic sentence is the most important part of a paragraph "to me". The reason it is so important is because the topic sentence has the job of hooking the reader. If you have a bad topic sentence than you will most likely end up with a mediocre paragraph. It also announces the chronological order that the paragraph is going to be in "Once you have announced the order its important to stick with it"(55). The last thing about the topic sentence is it cant be to boring. If you have a boring topic sentence than you will end up with a bored reader. Hooking the reader, introducing the paragraph, and interesting readers are all necessary elements that will either make your topic sentence rock or flop.
Well for starters your topic sentence didn't realy hook me in, but i do agree with what you are saying. The main reson is that we both were reading the same text. But you did a good job explaining to me why the topic sentence is important it is to hook the reader.
