Summary

My Left Foot by Christy Brown is about his struggle with cerebral palsy. Throughout his early years, his mother always stood by him. She gave him the support he needed in order to keep trying. She was the first one to notice that Christy couldn’t hold his head upright when he was four months old. She stood-up against the doctors who told her that Christy was hopeless. She read to him for hours, hoping that one day he would be able to read and write himself. She shed tears for him when he improved a little. She believed he that would be fine and that there was nothing wrong with his brain, just his body. She treated him equally and always included him in the family. She showed love, compassion, and had faith that helped him realize that he was no less than others. When he first attempted to write letter “A”, she put a hand on his shoulder and told him to keep going. In the end it paid off because Christy proved that she was right the whole time.
