The Allegory of the Cave

When I first read The Allegory of the Cave, I kind of had a time in my life that I felt that i could relate to the story. I believe the time that had the most impact to my life would be the time I was sperated from my mother because she had went to jail because of something she had did from the past. I really dont remember the situation that happend but i remember that day when the police came and got my mom and aunt like it was yesterday. "Knock Knock" I woke up to hearing that noise coming from the living room door, I remember hearing my grandmother mumbling something as if she had a dream and sleep talking. Then as soon as my grandmother finally made her way to the door she suddenly replied "may I help you" then soon realized it was the police at the door. There were two male officers that asked for the lady of the name of Monica Davis and Ordena Timms. As soon as they said that, i could see the tears running down her face as if it was raining and the rain was running down her face. At that moment I could see the confusion in my grandmother face as if the world had eneded and there ws nothing else to do. So the quote "you have shown me a strange image, and they are strange prisoners" kind of symbolized this moment in my life because I felt that the image was strange because I didnt get the whole scene, i thought my mother was innocent and i believe they were strange prisoners because I was clueless, I didnt know what they did.
