My son who dressed up as Frodo (photos here) was not cooperating during this shoot. All he wanted to do is climb and run in the mountains.

I love The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. So, I am having my son (who looks kind of like Frodo) dress up like him for Halloween. My daughter was a Baby Girl Hobbit (photos here) and their friend Asher was Samwise Gamgee (post coming in the next day or two). My son’s best friend, Asher dressed up as Samwise Gamgee to complete the cute little Hobbit trio (my son as Frodo here and my daughter as a baby girl hobbit here). The relationship between Frodo and Sam was, in many respects, at the centre of The Lord of the Rings. To the modern reader, it seems archaic - it is clearly extremely class-oriented: Sam's humbleness and "plain speaking" is frequently emphasized in contrast to Frodo's "gentility", and he often shows deference to Frodo, calling him "Mister Frodo". At the same time, a strong bond of love and trust grows between them, portrayed most poignantly during the events of Cirith Ungol, where Sam vows to return to his (apparently) dead master, to be reunited with Frodo in death.In Electronic Arts' Battle for Middle-earthstrategy game series, Sam can be summoned temporarily, along with his three companions, by good factions who use the "Summon Hobbit Allies" power. Interestingly enough, author J. R. R. Tolkien created The Lord of the Rings not as a religious story, but his Catholic faith can be seen as an inspiration in some aspects of the story. Galadriel is one of the greatest examples. First, we can look at the hobbits. We talked earlier about the difference in costume between Frodo and Sam. In comparison to the rest of the fellowship, the hobbit costumes tell us that the hobbits are humble, working people who are also quite leisurely. In terms of a dangerous quest into the dark realms of Mordor, the hobbits are drastically underdressed in terms of armor. Compared to the others, they look as though they are going to job interviews which is quite comedic to me. That storyline of under-preparedness plays out for the rest of the trilogy for the hobbits.

For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with." — Tolkien: A Biography , Humphrey Carpenter Sam stayed loyal to Frodo Baggins until the end, even to potentially dying at the base of Mount Doom after destroying the Ring of Sauron.

Being humble, Sam never gave in to the Ring's treacherous visions and temptations, and reciprocated when he discovered Frodo alive in the Tower of Cirith Ungol. He and Bilbo were the only ones who ever volunteered the ring, and only Sam volunteered it. As "punishment" for eavesdropping on Gandalf's conversation with Frodo regarding the dangers of the One Ring while trimming the grass of Bag End, Gandalf chose Sam to be Frodo's companion on his journey to Rivendell. Sam saved Frodo's life more than once during the quest to destroy the Ring, and would accompany him all the way to Mount Doom.

After the Scouring of the Shire (only present in the novelization), Samwise Gamgee married Rosie Cotton and began a family in the Shire: He proceeded to send Mr. Gamgee a signed copy of all three volumes of the book. However, the incident sparked a nagging worry in Tolkien's mind, as he recorded in his journal: This is an important lesson for us even now. Sam has no particular reason to love Frodo. Frodo Baggins is his employer. But service changes a person. Generosity transforms. And even though Sam begins from bad or at least less-than-desirable impulses, he eventually comes to the point at which his service is a gift that he gives out of love. As C.S. Lewis once wrote: The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, In the long summary-letter sent to Milton Waldman, published in as in Letter 131.It's not as though you ever expected to leave Hobbiton. You were perfectly happy living in your hobbit hole, visiting your favorite tavern every night to spend time time with your friends and pine after the pretty barmaid. But then you overheard something very strange happening over at old Bilbo Baggins's place and suddenly you're thrust into a quest bigger than anything you could ever imagine! What would your old gaffer say about all of this? Product Details After his wife died in the year 61 of the Fourth Age (SR 1482), Sam entrusted the Red Book to his daughter, Elanor, and left the Shire. It was a tradition handed down from Elanor that he went to the Grey Havens, and because he was also a Ring-bearer (albeit for a short time), he was allowed to pass over the Sea to be reunited with Frodo in the Undying Lands.

Sam was the youngest son of Hamfast and Bell Gamgee, and had many brothers and sisters. A gardener by trade, Sam seemed to be a simple Hobbit of plain speech. However, his love for Elves, his gift for poetry, and his belief that the world contained greater wonders than most hobbits were aware of (all nurtured by his tutor Bilbo Baggins) set him apart from the beginning. It was Sam who first introduced (in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels) the theme of the Elves sailing from Middle-earth, a subtle foreshadowing of Bilbo and Frodo’s final journey across the sea from the Grey Havens. He lived with his father, Hamfast Gamgee, known commonly as “The Gaffer”, on Bagshot Row in the Shire, close to Bag End. He had five siblings: Hamson, Halfred, Daisy, May, and Marigold. Credit: New Line Cinema After leaving Bree, Sam became very close with the pony Bill. Upon arriving at the Doors of Durin, Bill had to be released as he was unable to pass through the Moria Mines. This caused Sam great grief. In Lothlórien, Sam received a gift from Lady Galadriel; a small box of soil from her garden and a mallorn seed.

Sam and Frodo were healed of their wounds, while still unconscious, by Aragorn upon reaching Ithilien. Sam awoke, to his surprise, to find Gandalf watching over him. Gandalf led Sam and Frodo to the Field of Cormallen, where they were met by a large crowd, who praised the hobbits in many tongues for their heroism and sacrifice. There they met also Aragorn, who revealed himself to the hobbits as the true King of Gondor and Arnor. In the following days, Frodo and Sam were reunited with the surviving members of the Fellowship, and at length, those assembled traveled to Minas Tirith for Aragorn's coronation.
