Which of the words below describe Gerrard and which describe the Intruder?

Write a paragraph each about Gerrard and the Intruder to show what qualities they have. (You can use some of the words given above.)
Answer :
The following words describe both Gerrard and the Intruder:
GERRARD
Gerrard was a very confident and a witty person having all the qualities of catching the other person’s attention. He was as cool as a cucumber which could be clearly exhibited from his reaction when he found out about the intruder. He was smart and clever enough to balance himself and conquer the situation by convincing the intruder regarding his false identity of a wanted criminal. Lastly, he also possessed the courage to make the intruder fall in his trap as he locked him up in the cupboard and then handed him over to the police.
INTRUDER
The intruder was a clever and smart one who time and again managed to flee from the eyes of the police. He wore flashy clothes and somewhat resembled with Gerrard in terms of his appearance. He was a nonchalant person with a very casual attitude which could especially been seen when he revealed his plan of killing Gerrard and telling about his previous criminal record. However, his casual attitude ultimately threw him in Gerrard’s trap because of which he was ultimately handed over to the police.
