Mawi's father was afraid that the Ethiopian army was going to make him a nurse for the army. He could not take his family because it would too much time and he wanted to keep them safe.
In both Miracles and in Just, both poets use images such as "wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water" it gives you an image of an older woman/man/girl/boy wading in the edge of the water and then it also lets you taste the moist air around you and gives you a since of comfort. and in the other poem it talks about spring. you can imagine it and feel the cold spring air and see the leaves dropping. but it also makes you wonder if the person talking about it is sane because he doesnt sound reliable when he is using words such as wee it also makes you question if the balloon man is playing jump rope and hopscotch since the poem seems more about the balloon man. when it says piracies also gives it a since of spookiness you could say but overall thats just an example of how you can see feel and taste what he is writing about
thin is more positive than skinny is.
people tend to go "EWWW shes so skinny!!"
Instead of EW SHES THIN
usually people use thin as a complement
