In the second half of The Two Towers, J.R.R Tolkien wrote about the way Frodo and sam are reunited to make the journey of destroying the One Ring. Frodo struggles with having the ever so heavy burden of destroying the ring. Despite his lack of heroic stature, Frodo is well liked by those who know him intimately. His closest friend is his servant Sam, whom Frodo refuses to treat as a servant, always addressing him as an equal. When Sam gazes on Frodo sleeping, Sam’s feelings of fondness push him to tell himself how much he cares for Frodo (380)—a private moment of genuine passion. Sam is quite simply devoted to his master. Frodo has a major effect on Sam during this very eventful journey. Sam realizes Frodo really appreciates him although he is Frodo’s servant.

No matter what happens, they trust each other with everything that they have. For example, in the story the two hobbits come upon Gollum—a creature that they tame and force to be their guide to Mordor. Gollum could never be trusted because he was a past owner of the ring and wanted it back, but that was the only way they could get to Mordor. Gollum tries various ways to get the ring back but fails each time. He tries to break the two friends apart by leaving traces of crumbs by Frodo and taking all the food for himself. Sam knows Frodo would not do such a thing, showing the bond of trust that can never be broken between them. They helped each other mentally and physically through the journey, like Gandalf said, “'And Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without Sam” (409). Saying that without Sam, Frodo would not have made it far, Sam was there for emotional and physical help. “ In his lap lay Frodo's head, drowned in sleep; upon his white forehead lay one of Sam's brown hands, and the other lay softly upon his master's breast” (386). Sam stayed awake as he comforted Frodo so he could sleep
