"You have broken me heart Christy Browne. Sometimes I think you are me heart. Look, if I could give you my legs, I would gladly take yours."
<br>-Mother Brown
<br>
<br>The love between a mother and her child is a relationship that is so special that it cannot be substituted. Her love is untainted, and she holds her child and their accomplishments in the highest regard. The first time her child says their first word, or walks for the first time is as good as gold; the 1989 movie " My Left Foot" shows this to be evident.

    Elizabeth Bathory, a wealthy and powerful noblewoman, was born on August 7th, 1560, in Transylvania, Hungary.

    In the excerpt from Christy Brown’s memoir (My Left Foot), there are several similarities, yet there are also many notable differences when compared to the movie adaptation. The film begins when Christy is an adult and flashes back to his younger years, when he was around ten years old. On the other hand, the short story takes place when he is five years of age, up until the time he finally wrote the letter “A”.

In the movie, Christy could move more and be more interactive than one would suspect him to be while reading the short story. During his younger years in the movie, his mother has less of an impact on him in comparison…
