    As time progressed in the Post-Classical Era there were major changes in Islam and Christianity as seen in the discussions of Authorities. Islam had expanded across Afro-Asia and had become very wealthy because of trade in Dhar Al-Islam. On the other hand Christian Europe had entered a Dark-Ages of little trade with the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. However, by 1200 C.E. Europe had come out of the Dark-Ages on its way to the Renaissance. Europe was very interested in wealth and trade. An additional source of trade maps displaying trade wealth in 800 C.E. and 1500 C.E. of Islam and Christianity would help to explain why the views of the religions were changing.

    It is stated in the paper “How to Write a Feature Article” that” Feature writing often centers around people and their interests rather than events, but many of the same writing conventions of news writing (particularly a concern for accuracy) are also required for feature writing” (How to Write a Feature Article). Feature article can be found similar to the news reports, because they tell a story about the occurring event. However, such articles are often much longer and they tell the audience more about the people, which were influenced by the event than about the event, which has happened. The feature articles show the reader the emotions, world views and the believes of people involved, instead of just showing basic facts and statistics.
