Topic sentence: Example 2
 

Fantasy presents the world as it should be. Yet ‘should be’ does not mean that the realms of fantasy are Lands of Cockaigne where roasted chickens fly into mouths effortlessly opened. Sometimes heartbreaking, but never hopeless, the fantasy world as it ‘should be’ is one in which good is ultimately stronger than evil; where courage, justice, love and mercy actually function. Thus, it may often appear quite different from our own; in the long run, perhaps not. Fantasy does not promise Utopia, but if we listen carefully, it may tell us what someday we may be capable of achieving.
