I've also liked the way this "small, unimportant and uneventful" chapter has developed. Often you have to dig a little deeper with these kind of chapters. But I like doing that, which is also why I like English so much.
I noticed that as Frodo and Sam continue their journey their resting places become more and more uncomfortable (obviously) but also more exposed.
Let me reword this, the hiding places are of the same kind but the hobbits begin to feel more exposed and insecure. It's a wonder that Sam doesn't colapse due to lack of sleep. Frodo is too tired to worry about anything(Other than the ring)so Sam is left with a lot of worries. It is during this part of the book that you begin to see how important Sam's role is. He is the one who reminds Frodo of food and rest.
