Visual Aid Analyzing the Text at the Whole Text-Level

people with not rule himself is a Muslim. Therefore, it will not show the majority or minority in religious terms, like the previous discussion in the opening part.

One particularly powerful way of framing a text is through the use of visual aids. It can be photographs, sketches, diagrams, and other visual embellishments.

As the consequence, those two things run very slowly, not as fast as expected, so it causes a wider negative impact that is the disappointment of the various parties against the government of SBY.
