Read the following poem, in which the speaker recalls a coworker on a construction site, and answer the question that follows. "Hard Hat" Luis whistles while he lifts the beams, as if weight were only rhythm. I bend my knees like instructions, afraid my back will remember poverty. He wipes sweat with the back of his glove, grinning at the sun's blunt praise. I drink water in measured gulps, counting minutes until break. When the foreman shouts, Luis nods once, then keeps moving, steady as a drum. I flinch at every raised voice, my body translating it to storm. What is the function of the contrast between "Luis whistles" and "I flinch"?
