In this excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God, which of the following literary devices does Hurston use to make it clear that Joe Starks is different from anyone Janie has ever seen before?

“It was a citified, stylish dressed man with his hat set at an angle that didn’t belong in these parts. His coat was over his arm, but he didn’t need it to represent his clothes. The shirt with the silk sleeveholders was dazzling enough for the world. He whistled, mopped his face and walked like he knew where he was going. He was a sealbrown color but he acted like Mr. Washburn or somebody like that to Janie. Where would such a man be coming from and where was he going?”
