Well as it's just the outline stage at that point things aren't graven in stone either. I think they suggested the paragraphs in the book I read it in as more of a means to get you in the mindset of the story. You can always go back and re-write it as a point by point opening/closing to fit with the rest of the outline. In fact that probably is a good idea as it will probably help things to gel properly rather than seeming detached.
