the claim is the writers side of the argument. it is what they are arguing about. similar to a thesis statement in an informative text.
In literature, A claim is a statement that asserts something to be true. A claim can either be factual or a judgment. Claims can work on their own or in conjunction with other claims to form a larger argument. The word claim comes from the latin word clamare, which means "to cry out, shout"
