A claim is the "backbone" of an essay. It connects all the elements of a paper and defines the purpose by containing a topic and position on that topic. A good claim unifies the writer's thoughts under one main idea and prevents the reader from asking "So what?" about the topic. More specifically, a claim is not merely a statement of fact, personal opinion, or vague generalization. It should also propose a solution or make a comparison to effectively argue a position.Wfs academic voice
