Sam is probably the most loyal hobbit Frodo could have imagined to journey with. Sam is good with gardening and thats what he did for a job before he found himself in the middle of a journey to destroy the ring of power. When ever "Mr. Frodo" was feeling the weight of the ring he would tell him something good and put confidence into him. Sam even forgave Frodo when frodo attempted to kill Sam when the power of the ring over took him. His distrust in Gollum/smaegal may be very wise in the future....

Biography: Samwise was the youngest son of Hamfast Gamgee. He led a fairly uneventful life up until his beginnings in the tale of the Ring. Sam was deeply curious about elves, partly because of this, (and partly because he was an eavesdropper), he was selected by Gandalf to accompany Frodo to Rivendell. Elrond also selected him to join the fellowship of the ring. Throughout the journey, Sam proved his loyalty several times over, and without him the quest would have surely failed. After the betrayal by Smeagol to Shelob, Sam saved the ring from falling into enemy hands, and attempted to destroy the Ring himself. Samwise's strength and plain hobbit sense allowed him to resist the lure of the Ring's power, and realise that it was to much a task for him to do alone. After the War of the ring, Sam was elected Mayor of Michel Delving 7 times. He and his wife Rosie Cotton had 13 children before her death in Fourth age 82, when he sailed over the sea as the last of the Ring Bearers.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT SAM I like Sam because he is very loyal and he would go anywhere and do anything for Frodo. He is slow to trust many people such as Aragorn and Smeagal. Sean Did a very good job and he made Sam just like I read in the book. Click the ring to return to Lord of the Rings Main page.
