What Are The Three Objects In The Oath

I have finished reading The Oath by Frank Peretti. There were three objects that were important. Some of these objects meant a lot but were barely shown. Others were shown a lot with little meaning. The three objects are the bible, Steve’s shotgun, and Tracy’s badge. The bible was used during all the deaths in The Oath. Steve’s shotgun was used during all the fights with the immortal dragon. Tracy’s badge was used to show dominance against criminals and also in Charlie’s tavern. The bible was an important object in The Oath for the sake of Maggie and Cliff’s death. Hyde Valley was a very religious town. Every Sunday the townspeople went to church and prayed with a bible. It was symbolized to categorize the book as Christian thriller. Evelyn
read her bible every night to pray for Cliff. The bible was a semi important object that stayed hidden for most of the novel. Steve’s shotgun came out at important parts of the story. Steve’s shotgun saved him from the dragon many times. Steve’s shotgun also helped protect the citizens of Hyde Valley. It was symbolized as protection from the dragon. If Steve didn’t have it, he probably would’ve died to the dragon. Steve also carried around a sidearm. His sidearm didn’t protect him as much as the shotgun. Inside the cave, the dragon cut off the entrance so he couldn’t escape. Steve’s shotgun made the dragon bleed therefore; he fled back to his den. Steve’s shotgun has symbolism value as well as expressed value. Tracy’s badge has a lot of value to Hyde Valley and the townspeople. Tracy showed dominance with her badge. Tracy and Tracy’s badge stopped the criminal from killing Evelyn. Tracy’s badge symbolizes the control of the town. Tracy’s badge comes up solemnly and sneakily. Tracy’s badge indirectly stops criminals in their tracks. The Oath had three important objects associated with the novel. The bible, Steve’s shotgun, and Tracy’s badge are the three important objects. Each of the three has a different story and meaning. The bible had small important parts in The Oath. Steve’s shotgun had meaningful short important parts. Tracy’s badge had notorious yet meaningful parts.
