in a glade, near the bank of the River Anduin, which traveled through the lake Nen Hithoel, about a mile from a green lawn called Parth Galen, defending Merry and Pippin from the orcs.

Sean Bean =] ... what a funny name ... but it's true -_-
The strength and weakness of men. He is tempted by the ring, and tries to take it from Frodo. But also has the strength to let frodo go with it. He also sacrifices his life for merry and pippin.
Er, no. Destiny is one the themes of the story -Boromir's death resulted in the capture of Merry and Pippin, which led to the raising of The Ents, who destroyed Isengard and allowed the overthrowing and subsequent death of Saruman -a powerful allie of Sauron. It also caused Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn to leave the ringbearer and pursue the captured Hobbits and... well, o cut a very, very, very long story short, I think Boromir's death was a pivotal event in the saving of middle earth. Shield or no shield, he had to go! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To answer the question, there is a good chance he would have. However his survival would have had dire consequences.
I believe you are talking about the Uruk-hai, they are orcs that Saruman created that can walk freely in daylight.
Because that was where he, his father and his brother lived - it was his home. Furthermore, he wanted The One Ring to be given to Gondor (Minas Tirith is Gondor's capital), for use in defence against Sauron.
