Literary Criticism
His critics often critisized him of never writing in the United States even though he fought in World War I. They critisized him of never just sitting down and writing his stories as they came to thought. Instead he carefully analyzed all his stories and thoughts and break down all of his sentences word for word. Also critics claimed his stories were "boring" due to him loving to write in chhronological order. Ernest used his memories for stories and his books included alot of flashbacks and he wrote very straight foward for everyone to be able to understand his books.
