🏁🏁My Caption Text : HUT RI

🌷🌷Explanation : 

From the example caption text that I have made above with the theme of the Indonesian Independence Day. the caption above describes the 17 August competition. The Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia (HUT RI) on August 17, 1945 is a historic moment for the Indonesian nation, at which time the struggle of the Indonesian nation reached its peak. With all the sacrifices we finally reach the culmination point with the elimination of all forms of intimidation. Physical and basic oppression, inhumane imperialism and the arbitrariness of the colonialists are the price that has to be paid dearly by the fighters for the Indonesian nation. Entering the month of August, of course, we are familiar with the red and white flags that we will see around the highway. It indicates that there will be a Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence Day which will take place in the first week of August, to be precise, on August 17th. Of course there will be many August activities such as competitions that will be held, for example, areca nut climbing.

Panjat areca nut is a competition to climb a areca nut (or other tree) that has been peeled and given a lubricant, to compete for the items that are hung on it, usually held to commemorate Indonesian Independence Day. The way to play climbing areca nut is with a betel nut or bamboo that is skinned high and the trunk is smeared with lubricant prepared by the competition committee. At the top of the tree, various attractive prizes are prepared. Participants compete to get these prizes by climbing tree trunks, which are generally areca nut trees

Hello everyone, meet again with Yuli's blog. at this meeting I will explain about the caption text part 2. Let's listen to my explanation.

🌼🌼My Caption Text

🌹🌹Quote 1

🍒🍒Quote : "Carving Someone's smile is not necessarily as beautiful as the reality of his life. learn to know the dark side and reality of life".

🍍🍍Explanation : 

The quotes that I have made myself above have their own meaning. The meaning is that we as humans sometimes always see the state of others who smile and think it is beautiful. Although not necessarily all the carvings of a person's smile indicate that he is fine. Maybe, he smiled just to cover his downturn from others. Therefore, we should learn to know someone much deeper, don't just look at the outside. When we get to know much deeper, then we will know the dark side and reality of someone's life in living it.

🌷🌷Quote 2

🌼🌼Quote : "Never feel that your lifeis very painful and painful. remember that above the sky there is still another sk, as well as life. There is still someone who feels much more pain".

🍅🍅Explanation :

The quote above has meaning. It's meaning is to remind us to always be grateful for the circumstances we get. We are forbidden not to complain with what we get, never feel ourselves as if we are the most fragile person in the world. Because of this above the sky there is still the sky. As is the fragility of life, as fragile as we are, don't think we are the most fragile, because there may still be someone who is far more fragile and has a colorless world. Therefore, be grateful for what we get.

🌳🌳Caption Text Summary

🌳🌳Explanation : 

The caption text tells about Indonesia having experienced its dark period of being colonized by the Dutch colonials for 3.5 centuries. During this colonial period, many resistances were carried out by the Indonesian people from various regions. One of the Indonesian people's resistance to Dutch colonial rule was the Diponegoro War. The Diponegoro War or the Java war was a major war and lasted for five years from 1825-1830. This war was motivated by the hatred of the Javanese people towards the Dutch for the oppression that occurred in Java. As the name implies, this war was led by Prince Diponegoro who was the prince of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta.

Historically, since the arrival of Marshal Herman Willem Daendels in Batavia, the Dutch colonial influence has become increasingly evident on the island of Java, especially the Yogyakarta Palace. Where, Daendels changed the etiquette and ceremonial procedures which caused hatred from the Javanese Palace. He forced the Yogyakarta Palace to give him access to various natural and human resources by mobilizing his military power. After Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IV died, Yogyakarta Resident Jonkheer Anthonie Hendrik Smissaert interfered a lot in the affairs of the palace power. Where, many unilateral policies were smoothed out by him. At that time, Prince Diponegoro who served as the Guardian King could not stand the presence of the Dutch in the Yogyakarta Palace and finally he chose to return to his residence in Tegalrejo.

In mid-May 1825, Smissaert decided to repair the small roads around Yogyakarta. However, the initial road construction from Yogyakarta to Magelang via Muntilan was diverted past the fence to the east of Tegalrejo and the Dutch installed roadworks along the ancestral grave of Prince Diponegoro. This Dutch act provoked the anger of Prince Diponegoro and the local people. Finally, Prince Diponegoro replaced the stakes with spears as a sign of a declaration of war against the Dutch.

Prince Diponegoro launched a war strategy against the Dutch for five years. He uses guerrilla tactics to carry out deception, lightning strikes, and invisible sieges. Meanwhile, to fight and defeat Diponegoro's troops, the Dutch led by General Hendrik De Kock implemented the Stelsel Fort strategy, namely by establishing forts in each controlled area and connected by roads so that communication and troop movements moved smoothly. In the end, the Stelsel Fort strategy succeeded in breaking up the opposing troops so that they were easier to defeat. Where, in 1829 Kyai Mojo as the spiritual leader of the rebellion was arrested, following later Prince Mangkubumi and his main commander Alibasah Sentot Prawirodirjo surrendered to the Dutch.

Finally, on March 28, 1830 General De Kock succeeded in pinning Diponegoro's troops in Magelang. There, Prince Diponegoro stated that he was willing to surrender on the condition that the rest of his laskar members were released. Therefore, Prince Diponegoro was arrested and exiled to Manado and then transferred to Makassar until his death in Fort Roterdam on January 8, 1855. The Diponegoro War was one of the biggest battles experienced by the Dutch during their occupation of the archipelago. As a result of this war, the Javanese population who died reached 200 thousand people while the death toll on the Dutch side was 8,000 Dutch soldiers and 7,000 indigenous soldiers. The end of the Diponegoro War confirmed the Dutch control over the island of Java.

🌳🌳Example of Caption in English by Type

Understanding captions in English will not be easy to understand without studying the types of captions. The question "what is caption in English" is actually not difficult to answer if we have studied English captions for grade 12 which includes examples of caption text, caption text examples, and examples of English material captions. The point is caption text is explanatory writing on the picture. It has been explained above that there are 6 types of captions in English and their pictures. Now we will give examples of English captions of each based on its type.

A. Example of Caption Identification Bar As explained above that the type of caption identification bar is a type of English caption that only states who is in the picture, for example below.

B. Examples of Cutline 

Captions This type of cutline caption is what we most often find in pictures and writings in newspapers and media, both offline and online. The captin cutline states who is in the picture and what they are doing, for example as shown below.

C. Example of a Caption Summary While in the caption summary, the information we get in the complementary text is more detailed. There is information What, Who, Where, When. Usually the task of making an example of an English 5w 1h caption is in this type of caption or expanded caption.

D. Example of Expanded Caption Next is the caption with the most complete information. This type of expanded caption is a development of the previous caption, especially the summary caption.

An example of the next expanded caption is the following travel photo which depicts the millennium bridge crossing the Theme river in London.

E. Caption Group Identification 

Example The group identification caption looks the same as the caption identification bar example. It's just that the subject is a group of people, for example as below

F. Example of a caption quote While an example of a caption quote is quite easy to find on image media such as Instagram. Quotes have often been used to convey messages indirectly. If accompanied by a picture that matches the contents of the word b if the meaning is stronger, for example below

🌳🌳How to Write a Caption

1. Be descriptive. This first rule is the most important. Tell the reader exactly what is going on in the picture or figure. Why exactly are you including this image? The reader should be able to answer that after reading your caption.

• For instance, if you’re including a picture of a field in a paper about biology, your caption should tell why the field is important to your discussion.

2. If you are describing a table or graph, talk about variables. What does each side of the bar graph represent? Your reader should have enough information from the caption, the key, and the graph to be able to make sense of it without reading your paper.

3. Save humor for elsewhere. Unless you are writing a humorous paper that includes humorous graphics, generally captions are better left serious due to the need for conciseness.

4. Keep it concise. That is, it should be no longer than a paragraph, but really, a sentence should be sufficient, at most. In fact, captions don’t even need to be complete sentences. For a photograph, it’s okay to make it shorter than a sentence, such as “Kayley on the Ferris wheel.”

5. Remove anything that isn’t strictly necessary. For instance, the above caption could have said “Kayley waves her hand on the giant green Ferris wheel,” but the extra information that provides isn’t necessary for the reader to understand what’s going on in the picture.

📌After the explanation of the material from me, all of my friends can watch the video about the caption text below📌
