This is my attempt at writing my thesis in the five different forms. I have to say - it was harder than I thought it would be.
1. [Policy claim]
Many would argue that a theatre production is meant only to entertain, thereby dismissing anything serious or dark in nature. Nevertheless, it is not only worthwhile but necessary to attend productions containing dark themes and serious material, as they educate those in attendants on the reality of human nature.
2. [Definition claim]
A quality theatre production is not simply meant to entertain but to educate and edify audience members.
3. [Comparison claim] (this one is also a psycholanalytical claim)
I am COMPLETELY at a loss here, any suggestions or tips? I don't have a clue how to write my thesis as an evaluation claim.
4. [Evaluation claim]
Although some might say that Night Mother by Marsha Norman is an unsuitable play to produce for the general public, it is in fact an excellent play and much can be learned from the main character's plight.
5. [Cause / Effect claim]
Unlike attending a musical or a comedic play performance, plays that touch on the darkness of humanity result in an education for the audience - those who attend such performances are edified in more ways that one.
