Picture someone doing sth.

Post by pdh0224 »

Dear teacher,

"Routinely, my breasts are being cupped, my behind is being felt," Ms. Chekowsky said. "And I feel I can't fight it. If I were to say anything, I picture myself being shipped off to Guant?amo."

Q : I believe "picture" in the sentence could be replaced with "find". What do you think?
