"Beyond the Snow Belt" and "The Shoemaker"

There is alot of people who already ignore for death, because they exprience many people die and accident. But individuals attitude cold towards death is difference, one is they never forgot the death. And another is they know death came, but forgot the details about the death. Although, their attitude both ignore and cold towards death but they have difference feeling.
For the "Beyond the Snow Belt" by Mary Oliver, the poem try to said individuals' attitude is ignore. Because they exprience lots of people death, and they begin to as usual as live in this environment. And for the writter, she is remember all the thing what happend in that time. From this part the poem is difference between to the shout story "the shoemaker" by Roch Carrier, because when the war happend and lots of people death, Roch Carrier is only a child. Anyway, the attitude is similar between "Beyong the Snow Belt" and " The Shoemaker" but the Narrator has difference feeling about the thing happend.
When i am reading "The Shoemaker" by Roch Carrier, i can feel the narrator's attitude is cold for death. But in other way to understand, maybe Roch Carrier doesn't know what the acutally mean of death. Because he only know lots of people die in the war, but he didn't remember details. And he still think there is something happyness in the life, this point is totally difference from the "Beyond the Snow Belt" by Mary Oliver. The speaker of "Beyond the Snow Belt", she is lose reliance for life in some way, she saw lots of people death. And the most inportant thing is she cannot forget it. Never aginst the attitude is same for "Beyond and Snow Belt" and "The Shoemaker", but they still have difference in their mind.
People's attitude is cold and ignore for death, that's uausl. Because everybody would die when individuals get old. But the difference between people's mind is important, one is they know death but not really understand what death is, this is ROch Carrier, he still can find happyness in the life. And other is Speaker of "beyond the snow Belt", She can realize the death, and she lose intense emotion for life. In one word, People can be same in attitude for death, but their mind is different.
