* When write a paragraph, it can only be about one thing. A paragraph is about one idea, as expressed in the topic sentence.

Topic sentence

Supporting sentences - must be unified, all talking about the same thing, all relating to the topic sentence

Making a paragraph unified can be really hard because we have to cut sentences that might be interesting; however, if they aren't on-topic, they have to go.  Proofreading and editing is painful and difficult.

Director's cut of a movie

daredevil - a person who likes risky activities, a thrill-seeker, an adrenaline junkie

The paragraph seems to have gone off-track, off-topic.

Unity means one topic for one paragraph.

Cutting anything extraneous - extra, not needed, not necessary
