**INVITATION TO NOTICE (features of the mentor sentence): Monday**
1. **Participial Phrase**: The sentence begins with a participial phrase ("ambling across Justin’s lawn") that adds ongoing action to the subject, creating a vivid image.
2. **Descriptive Language**: The use of specific adjectives ("muscle T" and "gigantic") enhances the imagery and helps the reader visualize Brent more distinctly.
3. **Action and Impact**: The use of the verb "annihilating" conveys not just action but also the effect of Brent's movement on the environment, emphasizing both his size and the destruction he causes.
4. **Punctuation**: The sentence effectively uses commas to set off the participial phrase, clarifying the relationship between Brent's action and the rest of the sentence.
