which of the following is a key component of a literary analysis essay?
a. biographical information
b. thesis statement

d. personal anecdotes

Explanation:

For the first question, analyzing perception often uses contrasting elements like positive and negative (a). Dialogue (b) is more about character interaction, chronological summary (c) is for plot, and just describing (d) lacks analysis.
For the second question, imagery (descriptive language) and symbolism (representative symbols) (d) directly show changing perception. Metaphor/hyperbole (a) are more extreme comparisons, foreshadowing/irony (b) about future hints and contradictions, simile/personification (c) about like - as and human traits.
For the third question, a thesis statement (b) is crucial in a literary analysis essay to present the main argument. Biographical info (a) is extra, scientific data (c) not literary, personal anecdotes (d) not key.

Answer:

a. By contrasting positive imagery with negative symbolism
d. Imagery and symbolism
b. Thesis statement
