Firstly, I think you may have written a word wrong "umaswerable", and I'd like to know what word actually should be there? Secondly, I'm not that familiar with that part of the world (Mexico), but from the poem I would say they were on the run (trying to flee their country) or just were living in the car, because they didn't have enough money. Both could be true, the first one at the beginning and the second one after. The boy clearly suffered some sort of trauma (at age 7) and may even have lost a hand ("one small hand") and they have had a rough time since ("umasw... woes").

I get you this poem is confusing and hard to understand. You have to read it several times to truly understand it. Ok but next time you don't understand a poem that has a complicated language copy the text and go to rewordify.com. Paste it. It will translate all those complicated words to simple words. Try it. 
 
<span>Nye describes her experience being comforted by her mother when she was sick. Her mother told her she was not dying as long as she still had the strength to make a fist. Nye then writes that she is still comforted by this thought.</span>
<span>
The poem has several devices such as:

</span>Allusion it can be applied because it refers to a past historical event.<span>
</span><span>Imagery because it describes in detail the palm trees. Among other things. 

The tone </span>is nostalgic because she is looking back on she was traveling but she also uses a tone of pride because she survived the journey and she can still make her hand into a fist .

photoshop1234 [79]
The character of Sidney in "D*cky Markle" is a minor character. She is there to serve as a complement to her father, the major character. She is also there to help the plot of the story move forward.

Had Sidney not discover the World War II medal of Richard, her deceased uncle, her father would not have remembered that past wherein D*cky was still alive and the many events that unfolded after that.

Sneezing uncontrollably, the teacher had to leave the room.
zaharov [31]
‘Sneezing uncontrollably‘ is a verb phrase.
<span>
Verbs are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb.  We consider it a phrase instead of ‘sneezing’ because of the comma, it emphasized the phrase. Sneezing if it had been a direct object or subject could be gerund, but unfortunately, not on this sentence.</span>
