I have been really enjoying my story The priests graveyard so far it brings you on a rollercoaster. It makes it difficult to guess what is going to happen next. All though its difficult story to predict there are obvious objects playing a role in the book. The first object is a human in the story but I am referring to him as an object because Renee depends on him for survival. Lomont is only showed at the house he is kind of a non factor other then when he saved her and givers her shelter “he was

She endured pain, fear, and confusion “I wandered out into the middle of the street” (Dekker 28). I liked how
