Literary Analysis vs. Book Report

The difference between literary analysis essays and book reports are as follows.

Book reports are "summarize[ing] the story's action." (48)

Where as "literary analysis is an argument about meaning" (48) proven by fact.

I personally think literary analysis essays are easier because you are making an argument which I would say I am good at, due to experience.
This experience comes from living in a family of nine children and to parents all of which have there own opinion and think that everyone should believe there opinion.
I also believe that I am an analytical type person which means I would be better at analyzing facts instead of putting personal thoughts on paper.
