A paragraph focuses on one topic and what that one topic is all about. This "paragraph" jumps from topic to topic. 

These sentences look like a paragraph but they are not.

A paragraph is a unit of writing that is part of a larger body of work and that expresses what the writer wants to say about a particular topic or theme.

The reason why these sentences are not paragraph is because they do not share that quality of expressing a point. Rather than that, these are sentences that deal with random topics without being related to each other.
