The writer for the article Synesthesia, Elizabeth Glinka, introduces what is synesthesia, types of synesthesia, symptoms of synesthesia and many theories about synesthesia in her paper. She does this because she tried to prove her claim that synesthesia is just a medical condition, not a disease.
The reasons are symptoms of synesthesia shows that it just a neurological condition which can be tested and investigated. It doesn't have symptoms like a kind of diseases. In order to explain the reasons, she quotes and paraphrases the facts, modern researches, theories, and old studies to support her claim. For example, a 17th century political philosopher called John Locke first referenced synesthesia in his article An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
I think there are no clear counterarguments in this paper, because the writer doesn't mention any arguments which is the opposite from her claim, and she only explains and provides evidences to prove the supporting arguments.
Overall, the essay is really persuasive. The statistics of studies, old researches, facts, some proved theories, and current studies are professional and persuasive. The important thing is all of the evidences are true or proved. So, the strong evidences makes this paper to be persuasive and believable.
