    Christy Brown was born without arms but his mother refused to treat him as "the queer one" and instead ensured he was part of the family on equal terms with his siblings, no matter if he grew up to be dull or incapable. His mother was determined to treat him the same as the others and not isolate him as the different one kept in a back room.

    READING: THE LETTER A

    I was her child, and therefore part of


    the family. No matter how dull and
    incapable I might grow up to be, she
    was determined to treat me on the
    same plane as the others, and not as
    the queer one in the back room.
    Christy Brown, The Letter A
