Possible reasons why they would believe Bilbo stalling the trolls as ineffective is because Gandalf could’ve saved them anyway, similar to the novel. Although Bilbo held back the trolls, Gandalf is still the one that broke the rock letting sunlight into turn the trolls into stone. While admitting Gandalf could save them in the end using his method, Bilbo is still able to stall the trolls into not eating them. Even if Gandalf arrived and split the rock in half, he wouldn’t have showed up in time without the trolls starting to eat some of the group. In the film, a troll was just about to eat one of them, when Bilbo stepped up and made an excuse about they are sick and taste bad. The dwarves and Bilbo would have experienced some losses or a large quantity of losses if it wasn’t for Bilbo. Bilbo being used as a tissue getting caught could be seen as effective to others, since it could’ve showed how Bilbo is efficient at hiding, but as the wrong place in the wrong time, and wasn’t his fault he got caught. Despite the fact that it wasn’t his fault there is no action from him accidentally being caught.

These changes from the novel is effective and ineffective making Bilbo more noble towards his group of friends, although some may conflict

The film and literature presented in this unit was an eye opener to the modern western views regarding race and gender. In this western society we view a male as being strong, powerful, a provider for his family, the head of the household and many other characteristics that relates to what a man should be. When growing up as a child into adulthood we’re stimulated by the many books and movies of a woman being second to a man, a stay at home mom while the man is at home making ends meet just trying to provide for his family and we accept that role because in this western society that’s the ideal role as a woman where we look up to the man as a safety blanket and that’s all we’re brainwashed to know.
