STORY:
 At the Cabot house, Hispanic locksmith Daniel Ruiz is changing the locks. He overhears Jean, who is frustrated having felt nervous about the two black men but refrained from saying anything to avoid appearing racist. At his home, Daniel talks to his daughter, Elisabeth, who is hiding under her bed after hearing a gunshot. To comfort her, Daniel gives her an "invisible impenetrable cloak". He then puts her to bed and then gets a page for another locksmith job.
Daniel replaces a lock at Farhad's shop, and tells Farhad that the door is defective. Farhad accuses Daniel of cheating him, and refuses to pay. The next morning, Farhad discovers the store has been wrecked and tagged with racist graffiti. His insurance won't cover the damage, calling it a case of negligence as he had been advised to replace the door. Farhad vows revenge, and discovers Daniel's full name on the discarded work order.
Dorri comes to see Farhad, who explains that he tried to shoot Daniel after looking his address up in a phone book, but Daniel's daughter somehow blocked the shots. He thinks that the little girl was his angel. Elisabeth believed she could save her father due to her 'impenetrable cloak', which is justifiable due to the inexplicable lack of gunshot wounds on her body. Dorri removes the pistol and ammunition revealing them to be blanks. 

Describe the characters in the story:
How do they look like?describe them using adjectives like: naïve, responsible, ambitious...

  Farhad:Is the Persian men. He is unpleasant, mean, unhappy, bitter...
  Dorri:She is the daughter of farhad. She is friendly, helpful, lovely...
  Daniel: He is the locksmith. He is a good person also generous, helpful...
 Elisabeth: her father is the locksmith. She is brave, cute, helpful and friendly.
What's the relationship between them?mother-son, husband-wife...

Farhad is Dorri's father. And Elisabeth( the little girl) is the daughter of Daniel.


How do they react in the story?

Farhad  and Daniel argued because Daniel didn't want to repair the door of his shop (Farhad's shop). Then he was very angry and he tried to kill the locksmith. When he went to his house, the house where the locksmith live with his family, the locksmith was outside. When Farhad tried to shot gun the daughter of Daniel, Elisabet, went with her father to protected him. She was scared.

Do they change? Why? Why not?
The most of the characters didn't change, except the little girl, Elisabet. At the beginnig  of the story she was scared ( because she listened a shoot of a gun) and at the end, she went outside to protect his father of farhad.
