Your center of gravity (or at least what I think it is) is the style of narration Yunior has. You describe him as one who doesn't get too deep or philosophical and tells the story how it is with no sparks or flares. From your center of gravity you go on to describe a specific scene from Drown where Yunior shares how he feels contradicting your previous statement that he doesn't share his feelings. You continue on to many other situations with Yunior and what we can learn from him from what he shares.
What I'm having trouble identifying is the "so what?". How does Yunior simple, straightforward storytelling affect it? I have a similar situation in my draft of where I make a statement but not a stance. What I want to know is why is Yunior's language this important.

Your center of Gravity is the multiple ways Diaz makes his story confusing/make more sense. You explain that methods that he uses such as flashbacks, withholding basic info, as well as the emotions of the personalities he creates are what makes his story confusing and secretive. You then continue on to explain how each of these methods make his stories confusing in their own way.
What I want to know more of is why might he do this? What might he get from making his stories confusing, and missing vital details?
