For me, I'd have to be the servant.

But like others have said. He wasn't all servant. If you noticed the title to one of the chapters was "The Choices of MASTER Samwise" this would seem insignifigant but it really isn't. This is the first time Sam has to be the master of his fate. He can't rely on Frodo's advice and he can't even just follow Frodo's lead. From this point on Sam takes alot of the decitions into his own hands. It is still the master servant relationship but Sam become's more of a body guard then just a little helper.

Sam takes this new challenge with wonderfull grace and that's why I fell in love with him. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
