In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then."They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail.

Definition:
Stereotypes are ideas we have from countries, nationalities, people, etc. that are widely shared by people, due to the spreading of them. When something is a stereotype, we call it stereotypical.
Etymology:
The word comes from the French adjective <em>stéréotype. "</em>Stereo-" means "fixed" or "unchangable" and "-type" means "impression" (in this case do not refer to a physical impression, rather a mental impression) and also typical. So, "fixed/unchangable" + "impression" = a fixed and typical impression of a specific person or group of people.
