Re: Sam Gamgee all the way!!

For the first several times that we read LotR Sam Gamgee is not a very exciting character, is he? We cheer for Frodo who takes on the task, then we see Aragorn as a mysterious character who shows up at The Prancing Pony and is much more than he at first seems. And always is Gandalf in the background. It takes a long time for us to figure out how important to the story Sam is and how faithful and unselfish he is. Yay, Sam!
