The poem Mimesis by Fady Joudah illustrates the way people become refugees. The spider is the refugee, the web is their home, and the bike is most likely the region that the refugee lived in. An example could be a Syrian refugee, who lived in their home in Syria but was forced out due to fear of violence. Syria and its war would keep on going, not worried about the Syrian person forced out of their home, but worried about the “bigger picture.”
