I am writing a paper for English and am having problems with 5 sub claims and a thewis/claim over hippies

So, what exactly is the problem that you are having? A little more description of it would be helpful. Also, it would help to know what instructions you were already given by your instructor concerning writing the claims.

You also might want to check some of the questions that are posted on the bottom of this page to questions that might be similar to yours and see what the answers have been on them. You could also type in claim or sub-claim (with the hyphen included) in the search function at the top of this page and see what other questions and answers there have been.
