The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of a paragraph. The topic sentence makes a statement about something. The other sentences in the paragraph explain the topic sentence or give examples of what the topic sentence is saying.
So if you are writing a literary analysis you make a statement about your subject then explain or give examples. Maybe something like this:
Baxter makes good use of assonance in this haunting poem. (Then give some examples of assonance in the poem. Explain how this is haunting ).
