That is just the beginning of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. His allegory envisions the world as a dark cave, the human beings as prisoners who are trapped and every life experience as nothing but shadows on a wall.

The story Holes was about Stanley Yelnats, who was bullied in school because of his weight, and was later accused of stealing a pair of shoes from Clyde Livingston. Since he was supposedly cursed by his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather,” Stanley was then sent to juvenile, Camp Green Lake, for stealing the shoes. When Stanley arrives at Camp Green Lake, he is told that everyday he has to dig five by five feet holes, using their shovels as a measuring stick.
