Answer:
In the chapter If I Were You, Gerrard was calm regardless of an intruder breaking into his cottage with a revolver. I or anyone else would have panicked after noticing a gun and an intruder in my house. Yet Gerrard smoothly tackled and fooled the intruder. I would have attempted to distract the intruder and reach the cops. I would have tried to contact my neighbors and ask for help or somehow fool the intruder and locked the intruder in a room just like Gerrard locked the intruder in his cupboard.
Explanation:
the chapter 'If I Were You ' shows how keeping yourself calm and composed even in the worst of situations can save you from adverse consequences. If I Were You is a play written by Douglas James. It begins with the telephonic conversation of a dramatist, Gerrard who was preparing to leave his house to attend a rehearsal. After hanging up the phone call, he starts packing his travel bag. While he is engaged in his work, he suddenly notices an intruder who has silently entered from his right side. Gerrard notices that the unknown man resembles him quite a bit and is holding a revolver in his hand. The intruder, without wasting any time, asks Gerrard to raise his hands in the air. Gerrard on the other hand is surprisingly relaxed and does not panic at gunpoint. He starts chatting with the intruder and asks his name pleasantly. The intruder starts interrogating Gerrard about his details. Gerrard requests him to talk in a comfortable position, so the intruder asks him to sit down on a chair. As they start talking again, he asks Gerrard if he stays alone and owns a car. To this, the dramatist replies that he often travels due to the nature of his work. One of his bags is always kept packed as there are days when he needs to travel out for some urgent work. Besides, Gerrard also tells the intruder that he often talks on the telephone without meeting his tradesmen in person. Meanwhile, Gerrard also enquires about the intruder’s whereabouts and the latter tells him that he is a criminal who mainly robs jewelry. Further, he also killed a policeman and he wishes to take Gerrard’s identity by killing him so that he can evade his arrest completely. Hearing this, Gerrard realizes that the intruder is not as smart as he had assumed. So, he manipulates the intruder wittingly to believe him. Gerrard quickly tells a story and states that he has a mysterious life of his own. He convinces him to believe his words and tells the intruder that the police are also after Gerrard for a murder. Now if the intruder kills him, the police would anyway catch him on account of Gerrard’s misdeeds. Interestingly, the intruder believes Gerrard’s story when the latter asks him to go to the garage and flee from the house through that route. So, Gerrard opens the garage door and pushes the intruder inside which is a cupboard and locks him up. Soon after, he informs the police about the criminal’s whereabouts and hands him over to them. Thus, we see that Gerrard’s presence of mind and alertness saved him from a life-threatening situation.
