I'm not completely sure what you mean my contrasts and contradictions but I'll try to help
When Jonas realized he could see color, it contrasted from the normal grey scale he and his community usually experience.
His new life contradicted his past life before his job assignment because he was told he could never lie but not with his job, he has the right to.

Hope this helps :)
