To what extent does interdisciplinary synthesis of English &
science allow you to understand the purpose of the text

Both Science & English portray their own aim in their own
ways. However, the integration of both makes the text
more powerful through different ways. For example, in
this case, the author has cited the scientific evidence
backed by the literary devices such as persuasion, logos,
pathos etc. Hence, using science to mention facts
comprising literary devices can persuade the audience to
buy the product and the author’s words.

1) The text is not completely backed up with a proper scientific explanation but, there were few paragraphs on which gave
out information. Example in para 3, the writer talked about how the seasons could have an affect or e rate of diseases,
attendance, diet etc. could Varey with the season. He also mentioned more factors in this paragraph, but overall, this
section of the article was backed with a coherent amount of scientific data which helped aware the audience about this new
research and its impact
2) The language used in this is article is very text heavy and informative. There might not be to, much explanation
provided by the reader, but he/she has stated every point that is necessary. The audience for the same would probably be
different researchers or general public because, they need to know about these new discoveries that are coming up.  
3) I think the strengths of the article was that the writer was able to state the different points. For example, he said,
Suicidality (which closely tracks mental illness) appears to be strongest for April through June birthdays.  
Though he was not being able to explain the reason or give evidence upon why mental illness appears in people who’s
birthday is in the month of April or June so that becomes the limitation.  
4) English and science both helped me understand the purpose of the article as with the use of   different properties of
article writing example, with the help of rhetorical questions or catchy statements I was able to get an idea about what the
article will talk about. Whatever scientific information that was used also helped   me in understanding the reason the the
particular cause
