I really need help! Can i used this example for the device of contrast?

Question

I have to write a stylistic analysis essay and for one of my devices, im using a contrast. I have one paragraph already showing a contrast, but now i need another. I was wondering if using "paralyzed by wonder" could be a contrast, with paralyzed having more of a negative connotation and wonder being more positive? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Yes, I think those would work fine.
