WRITING IS LIKE A JUICY AND DELICIOUS HAMBURGER
The top bun is the topic sentence.
The hamburger patty and all of the toppings are all of the detail sentences.

The bottom bun is the good ending.

They have meanings that are understood by people who speak that language, but are very hard to understand for people who do not speak the language.
