Celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month with These Great Books
Karen Szklany asked this question about The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings, #2):
Do you think if Sam was more compassionate toward Smeagol/Gollum, the creature would have been able to turn back from evil, let go of the ring, and lived a longer, more peaceful life f or the rest of his days?

Gollem/Smeagol is quite a special case. By all means he shouldn't still be alive but he still is. Dangerously turned evil and dangerously dependant upon the ring. Smeagol can't be saved, if he had survived he would be an empty void. Without the ring he would be nothing. He might not have become a servant of the great evil. But he was permanently connected to it.

Maybe you haven't noticed by all surviving ring bearers are offered travel through the gray havens. Because each of them are corrupted even in the smallest way. All of them are affected and there is no cure. (less)
