Would the following passage be considered antithesis or point of view as a literary technique?

‘The children who tape colorful fall leaves to the schoolrom windows and walls are humoring the teacher. The busy teacher halts on her walk to school and stoops to pick up fine bright leaves “to show the children”—but it is she, now in her sixties, who is increasingly stunned by the leaves, their brightness all so much trash that litters the gutter.’

antithesis – contrary ideas expressed in a balanced sentence. It is the juxtaposition of two words, phrases, clauses, or sentences contrasted or opposed in meaning in such a way as to give emphasis to their contrasting ideas and give the effect of balance.

point of view -This angle of vision, the point of view from which the people, events, and details of a story are viewed, is important to consider when reading a story.

I think that both would work, but just I’m not sure which literary technique would fit that passage better. Thanks for your help!
