Basic by read the story “identities”, I learned that most of the people are stereotyped in the society; their minds are confining by the general ideas, this tragedy finally ended by the protagonist´s death because of his curiosity, where he thought would be an interesting place. There are two main stereotyped illustrate on the protagonist and the policeman. That really not fair to the protagonist.
To begin with, “The smell of burning leaves stirs the memories of childhood car rides, narrow lanes adrift with yellow leaves, girls on plodding horses, unattended stands piled high with pumpkins, onions, beets, so that each one was, in its own way, a still life.” That was the original and fist sign of the North from the protagonist, even he never went there before, but he trusts what he saw many years ago but does not notices the new situation, and that is kind stereotyped idea, and they how the protagonist been leaded to his death way.
On the other hand, when the protagonist saw the three men with the girl, and he thought that, “the girl is better looking than she should be for such companions. She is long-legged and wears a white turtleneck sweater that accentuates her breasts”. Isn´t it a little bit stereotyped? Who talks you that all the beauties are finer and not evil? So that, it is not fair for us to gave a definition of people basic by their looks. One thing related to this, “When the officer, who inexperienced, who is nervous because he has been trained to see an unshaven man in blue jeans as a potential thief and not as a probable owner,” well the police also give the people who wear blue jeans as thieves, that is unfair.
To sum up, it is not fair to only use stereotyped thinking to face and solve problem or people. Because what we expect might not be true all the time. Such as the protagonist, he was only wants to show his identities, but the inexperienced policeman thought that was trying to took his weapon, so as the consequence, “in the last voluntary movement of his life, he reaches his hand toward his wallet for his identities.” he unwarily does the stupidest the thing and give a wrong sign killed himself by the police hand.

優しくキミは微笑んでいた
词曲：福田 考代 歌：三谷 朋世
遠い記憶 かすかに香る優しくキミは 微笑んでいた見えない枷に 気付かないままキミに甘えて 苦しめてたね誰よりも愛して 誰よりも見つめたずっと ずっと離れていても変わらずキミを思ってるからキミの温もり 優しい両手忘れないからキミがいない 事に慣れてたまに会えると 言葉が出なくて黙っていても 通じ合うってキミに頼って ばかりいたねもう戻らない 振り返らないから背中を押して 踏み出す勇気を下さいもっと もっと強くなるから泣かないように 見守っていてキミの眼差し 優しい声思い出に変えるからキミがくれた 大切なものずっと心に しまっておくから季節は巡る キミがいなくてもセピア色に染まってゆくよ誰よりも信じて 誰よりも側に居たきっと きっと越えられるから遠回りかもしれないけれど未来はきっと 明るいから信じて進むからもっと もっと強くなるから泣かないように見守っていてキミの眼差し 優しい声思い出に変えるから遠い記憶 かすかに香る優しくキミは微笑んでいた

Compare Beyond the Snow Belt with The Shoemaker
According to the story and poem, we can see that there are many similarities between Beyond the Snow Belt and The Shoemaker, and both of the narrators use protagonist´ good condition to compare the people who are suffered at same time. And what about if we put the idea on war, how could they work?
Firstly, the poem Beyond the Snow Belt, which wrote by Mary Oliver, narrates that `two counties north the storm has taken lives. Two countries north, to us, is far away, ---` and she also told that ´so we forget with ease each far mortality.´ if we put her idea on war, it will become a country like Canada, which stay neutral forever. A evident support is wrote on her poem `I only say, except as we have loved, all news arrives as from a distant land.´ as the result, stay neutral, enjoy lives and welcome all the people who cannot live on their own land. From that point, I knew that Mary Oliver should be a Canadian.
On the other hand, Roch Carrier, who wrote The Shoemaker, has maintain that about the L´s Action catholique, which had burned alive thousands of women, men and children by the little boy who is the protagonist point of view. During the narrative, he maintains that `when the people of Hiroshima remember this earth, they will see again the bright explosion that wrenched their bodies from their souls.´ in addition, he also point out by the little boy´s point of view `I wish they could remember instead a little shoemaker with a clubfoot who, as they were sleeping, came and mended shoes worn out from having played too much on the earth covered with dandelions and daisies.´ well narrator wish the dead people can have better life after they died in the war, he use the shoemaker who died, but still live in the little boy´s heart to foil the sadness of the people killed by the atomic bomb.
On a personal, the short story is kind of similar as the poem as I maintained at beginning, both the short story and the poem are solicitous about the people who are dead and still suffering during the war time, and both of them want to give a hand to the poor innocent people in the war time. But, we can ignore the effort they made, as we know there are millions of people killed during wars, even who want to help, they have to pick a side, and limited power to protect or defense themselves. Both of the them has show their opinion, pick as an example, ‘ our children running on the mild white hills, this is the landscape that we understand,--- while maybe you will feel that is kind of selfish, but that the truth of the world, during war time, all of the countries´ first goal was for their own countries advantages.
