F. van Engelen, K. Kunen, and A. W. Miller proved, in [EKM], that for every analytic set A on the plane, either A can be covered by a countable family of lines or else there is a perfect subset P of A such that no three points of P are collinear. In this paper, we present some generalizations of their result. In particular, a question which was raised by van Engelen et al. in the last paragraph of [EKM] is answered (see Section 3).
