Gilbert has left out **details about the main character’s motivation** from his planning. While he has identified the choice between the two jobs and the characters involved, he has not explored what drives him to consider the accounting job over the one at Pete's Pizza or vice versa. Understanding his motivations, such as career aspirations, financial needs, personal values, or social influences, can deepen the narrative and provide context for his decision-making process.
