Imagine yourself trapped in a body, unable to speak, move, let alone write. This was exactly what Christy Brown felt in his youth. My left foot is an autobiography which tells the true story of Christy Brown, an Irishman born with cerebral palsy, who could control only his left foot. Brown grew up in a poor, working class family, and grew up to become a writer and artist. On top of his physical disabilities, the doctors also considered him to be intellectually disabled. However, his Mother did not give up on him and continued to teach and speak to him.
The book was later made into a flim, and in the above scene, you will see how Christy tries at length to write the word "mother".
