So the 19-year old has to write a paper about LOTR for a college class. She wants the topic to be, that because Frodo and Sam are both heroic characters, it's too hard for the reader to determine who the real protagonist is. Her professor says she needs to be more specific, the paper should be no longer than 6 pages.
Ideas?? I think she should make it "Sam is the hero." Since she hasn't finished it yet, she says she doesn't know if that's what she will think, so wants to do it based on what she's read so far. She's only up "The White Rider" chapter of TTT.
