What language technique is this?

'But he is now determinedly his own person.'

The whole sentence is 'A year ago, he was a sleepy ball of scrunched- up flesh, but is now determinedly his own person.'

Thanks!

well there is a contrast operating here, between the child being a "ball of flesh" and "his own person".

By placing these opposing descriptions next to one another (called juxta-positioning) we get a sense of how quickly the child has evolved/grown up.

Does this help?
