Detailed explanation-1: -An interpretative claim explains or illuminates the overall argument the writer is attempting to make. On a basic level, a simple book report is a type of interpretative claim; you present your own understanding of the text, how it conveys meaning, and your interpretation of the larger points the author makes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The task of the interpretive argument is to come up with a plausible and well-crafted research question, and developing a case for seeing a text in a particular way using relevant evidence and valid reasoning. It doesn’t need to be the best case out there, or the final word on the topic.
