Hi

I have to state my claim sooner in the paper. Also, I have to claim my audience sooner.

Stating my claim sooner will help my paper because I can back up my claim throught the paper. In other words, the later I state my claim, the less space I have to back it up. The same thing goes for the target audience. The sooner I state my target audience, the more I can adjust my arguemnt towards them.
