Christopher’s decision to run away from home meant he had to decide where to go. Through the process of elimination, he decided the only place he could go was his mother’s home in London. His fear of the unknown was matched only by the fear he had of his father, and it was this fear that propelled him on his trip. His adventure in the subway serves as an excellent example of just how much all these new experiences were frightening him, and just how much information he can take in. Every sign in the station, as well as the sign that showed each stop in the Bakerloo Line, was presented to us, each of them written in a different font, or in a picture. This influx of information, combined with the sound of the trains themselves were enough to force Christopher to sit down and close his eyes for five hours.
