The piece “Untitled” by David Wojnarowicz uses rhetorical properties to contribute to it’s meaning . Such as the way he centered a little boy in the middle of the text, letting us know that this text will be something about a little boy. The picture of the boy is black and white but the way his features and hair texture is, makes me realize this is a white boy. This text resonates with social concerns today because the main idea of this article is that saying this little boy as he grows up will have a lot of issues in society the day he opens up about being with another male. This issue is still present today because many males who are in the LGBTQ community go through problems on a day to day basis. Using the right rhetorical properties in texts allow readers to understand what’s going on and it’s severity. For example, in this text the author says a lot of negative things may happen when he grow up and decides to come out of the closet. Therefore, someone who may read this that’s in the same situation may cause fear.
