These records don't tell the whole story. How can we find out the complete story?

We should consider the context in which the records were made. For example, if it's about a historical event, the social, political and cultural background at that time could be important factors that are not shown in the records. Also, personal biases of those who created the records might have influenced what was included and excluded.

Use critical thinking. Question what you see in the picture. Ask yourself things like 'What is not shown in this picture?' and 'Could there be another side to this story?' For example, if there's a picture of a famous person looking happy at an event, consider that they might be putting on a show for the cameras, and there could be personal or professional stressors that the picture doesn't reveal.

Look for signs of selectivity. If a photo seems to be highlighting only one aspect of a complex situation, it might not be telling the whole story. For instance, if it's a photo of a social movement and only shows the most extreme protesters, it's likely not showing the full range of participants and their motives.

You could also try to gather information from other sources. If you suspect someone isn't telling the whole story, look for other people who might have relevant knowledge or evidence. This can help you get a more complete picture.

It could be that the records were created with a specific purpose or audience in mind, and thus didn't include everything. Sometimes, there might also be errors or omissions that prevent them from presenting the full picture.

Pictures of historical events are often just fragments. Consider a picture of a famous speech. It shows the speaker and the crowd, but it doesn't tell you about the social unrest that led to the need for that speech, the different reactions of various groups in the audience, or the long - term influence of the words spoken. There's so much more to a historical event than what a single picture can capture.

We can do research. For example, if it's a story about a real event, look for reliable sources like historical documents, news reports, or eyewitness accounts.

To tell the whole story in a news report, first, do in - depth research. Interview all relevant parties, gather facts from multiple sources like eyewitnesses, official documents. Then, present the information in a chronological order. Don't leave out important details, even if they seem uninteresting at first. For example, in a crime story, not only report the act but also the context leading to it, such as the suspect's background and possible motives.

We can try to ask them more specific questions to get the missing parts. For example, if they are talking about an event, ask for details like who else was involved, what time it exactly happened, etc.

Well, the janitor could have hidden talents or skills that aren't obvious at first. For example, being a great musician or having a degree in a specialized field.
