🌼🌼Conclusion of Caption Text

🌳🌳What is meant by caption text?

Caption text is a short text that is above, below or in the image as a complement to the image. Many people think that captions are the same as quotes, even though they are different. Quotes are usually just text without pictures but can also include pictures. The difference between a caption and a quote is that a quote is a quote that is usually taken from a book, song or dialogue in a film and is accompanied by the name of the author. While the caption is writing that is made to explain the image. Captions are used as a means of expression on social media.

🏁🏁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
