The narrator of the story wonders about happiness. He thinks that if he had money, he'd be happier. Yet after he robs the rich white man, he learns that money does not in fact mean that people are happy. The narrator is left wondering why that is. The story does not necessarily offer a solution rather an anti solution: money will not ensure happiness.

If this paragraph stands by itself, sentence 1 is the topic sentence because it sets up sentences 2-5 to explain the many genres. If this paragraph is the introduction to an essay, or longer analysis into how a particular novel "engages the reader with profound insights into the human experience", then sentence 5 is the topic sentence and claim for the essay.
