“Katelynn meandered…” the description of the way she walks helps give a vivid image. This sentence also gives us the most information about her personality and how she acts in society: zoning everyone out. in her own world reading. not focused on people around her, forcing the zigzag pattern. “meandered” showing how she’s a calm and more innocent person. hope this helped!!
