The author Michael Fridgen style of writing continues to pique the interest of his readers while they read.
Jens finally had the courage to share his past with someone he trusted and Riley finally had the strength to confess his mistakes and accept the consequences. They each understood that the cards they were dealt didn’t define them as the people their future self. Their bond developed into something that in a way saved them both from additional denial. By doing this each character was able to take something they gathered and apply it to their new way of thinking. Author Michael Fridgen made sure to put Jens, a “Holocaust Survivor” and Riley, a “student hockey player” to cross paths and grow from each other.
He never thought that the assignment he received from his sociology professor would be not only an eye opener but a life changing experience. He doesn’t understand that he’s not doing as well as a student and needs to earn some form of extra credit to continue playing sports. By reading this book, you would feel mixed emotions in comparison and contrast to how things were handled in the past to how they are handled currently.Īs I read, I’m learning about how Riley Hunter, a star student athlete, lives the life many students on campus wish they could. In “The Iron Words,” author Michael Fridgen, paired two very unique characters to spend time together learning about each other’s perspectives about the world, in different times. The life he had was short lived as he soon discovered how he felt towards another male wasn’t tolerated in his community. An elder man by the name of Jens Jaenisch shares details about his life while growing up and living in Germany, back in 1942. Just by reading about how a particular character went through an experienced moment that would later become a part of our history. You would never have thought that what we’ve learned in history could turn out to be so inaccurate.
