Themes and motifs

Text in context:
Christopher has gone to the shop.
He saw 5 red cars in a row on the way to school but nothing happened to him at school so he thinks it's going to happen after school!
Christopher finds out about the relationship between his mother and mr shears. This reopens the investigation and leads to writing it in his book
The father finds out and stops him from writing
And throws it away
Which leads to the discovery of the letters.
The knowledge is subjective because of the cars (the super good day). He has decided to talk to Mrs Alexander because it's a super good day. This passage is ironic, because the information he finds out will be super bad but for him is super good.
The themes are the big ideas:
There are three big ideas: knowledge is subjective is present in this passage because Christopher's knowledge of his mother is based on previous experience and how it's a god day is subjective. The cars are symbolic to him because to him it means a super good day and a black day.
