The purpose for using descriptive language in the paragraph is primarily to **show how alone the character feels in the crowded hallway**. The imagery of being surrounded by a "hurling, squawking mass of kids" but still feeling "invisible" effectively conveys the character's feelings of isolation despite being in a crowded environment.
