       Half way through The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring I have been introduced to many characters that the Hobbits: Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry have met along their journey from the Shire to Rivendel. They have already met elves, orcs, moving trees, but my favorite character has to be Aragon or as he is known to the Hobbits, Strider. He is a ranger who roams the wild surviving and just being an overall bad ass. No one knows the world better than him except maybe Gandalf but he is too busy not being there. So it became Aragon's job to somehow get four hobbits to safety. He has to protect them from 9 ring wraiths.

       He gets them out of all sorts of trouble like when the hobbits decide to start cooking food in the middle of the night because they are always hungry. This gets the wraiths to attack them. Aragon leaves for just a second and they almost get killed. Then Frodo who's only job is to make sure the ring is safe and not put it on so Frodo puts it on as soon as the wraiths are around him and gets stabbed. This makes Aragon have to literally drag Frodo to Rivendel but this is even more hard because hobbits need to have a good 5 meals a day and get tired and must rest all the time. Through out this Aragon manages to pretty much save the whole world by being a complete bad ass.
       If Aragon found $100 on the street he would put it to good use. As a ranger he has to survive off the land and use whatever he manages to find to his advantage and uses it for survival. He would use the $100 to purchase supplies and weapons to continue his journey. He is very resourceful and would see the money as something he needs in order to survive so he would put it to good use. He is honorable however so if he actually saw the person who dropped it I believe he would return it to them because he is not a thief. But if he found it in the Wild he would put it to good use.

 Throughout the book Frodo is faced with temptation of putting the ring on. If he puts it on it lets Sauron and the wraiths know where he is and Gandalf said not to wear it as it also begins to posses the wearer little by little. The ring actually speaks to Frodo as it is trying to get to its master so it wants Frodo to wear it. Sometimes Frodo gives into temptation and puts the ring on. Whenever that happens bad things follow. Frodo got stabbed and poisoned. The Black Riders invaded Bree when he put it on there. Frodo tries to battle with this temptation and is not always successful
