Explanation:

No matter what your clame is, if the author doesn't make a statement that reveals the point of the argumentative essay and what is going to be spoken about with a firm debatable affirmation, there's no claim to be used at all. You have to be on some side of the subject to make an argumentative essay, since you're going to try to convince people to think like you do. The argument must show what you think about the subject. That's the whole point.
