Paragraph list

This running of the bulls, called the encierro, takes less than five minutes.
The white of the uniforms is thought to reference the aprons of the medieval butchers, and the red is worn in honor of San Fermin.
Every morning in Pamplona at 8am during the Festival of San Fermin, six bulls and at least six steers are released into the streets and corralled into the city's bull ring.
Most wear a common uniform: white shirt white pants, red neck scarf, and red belt or waist scarf.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main event. It tells us when and where the event happens. It does not need other sentences to understand it. It is a general statement about the running of the bulls. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'This running of the bulls,' which needs context from the first sentence. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Most wear a common uniform,' which refers to the bulls but does not stand alone. Paragraph 4 starts with 'The white of the uniforms,' which also needs prior information to make sense.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the discussion about the uniforms. It gives the meaning behind the colors, which is a good way to end the text.
