Mr. Squatter! Is this - like - a multiple choice question?

Essay? What it's count towards our final grade? That much?

OK, social, political, and economic effects of the fall of Sauron...Well, they got a king out of the deal. That was pretty sweet. And people were traveling around a lot more, what with the Orcs kinda dying off and all, so you had a lot more trade and tourism, which meant that everyone was spending money and buying on credit. So the economy was really jumping.

Socially it was kinda a bummer, cause the Elves were all leaving and they always threw the best parties. But that left plenty of room for Men to move into the neighborhoods that the Elves left behind, so everyone was buying these flets and Baranduin riverside condos at fire sale prices, so socially everyone was pretty happy, even without the Elves, (except the popular music was pretty lame, so most people just preferred to listen to Elven "oldies")

Anyway, the first 100 years after Sauron was wacked were pretty good. But then the Second Great Plague of F.A. 110 struck. After that everything pretty much sucked again.

Did the One Ring really like Frodo, or was it just stringing him along?
