Question

1. brendan dasseys confessions shown in the series mention the garage very minimally- only once or twice, and only in text shown on the screen, not aloud. why might the creators of the docu series leave sections of his confessions involving the garage out of the series?

Explanation:

One reason could be to shape the narrative for dramatic or persuasive effect. If the garage - related confessions were weak or inconsistent with the overall story they wanted to tell (e.g., if they didn't strongly support the guilt or innocence narrative they were building), excluding or minimizing them could help maintain a more coherent or impactful storyline. Another possibility is that the garage - related confessions might have been less reliable (e.g., Brendan Dassey's mental state, coercion concerns, or lack of corroboration), so the creators chose to downplay them to avoid undermining the credibility of other parts of the confession or the documentary's argument. Also, from a storytelling perspective, focusing on more dramatic or vocal parts of the confession could keep the audience engaged, and the minimal text - based mention of the garage might be a way to include it without giving it too much weight if it was controversial or less relevant to the main themes they were exploring.

Answer:

Possible reasons include shaping the narrative (e.g., maintaining story coherence/impact, avoiding undermining credibility if garage - related confessions were weak/unreliable), or focusing on more engaging parts of the confession for audience engagement.
