Some authors do get over analyzed, but it does also happen a lot that authors include small details as clues about the story or the characters, especially when the story is written with a point in mind, like the Scarlet Letter. Yes, some story details are just based on little details from life, but often times authors have an intention behind what they write that affects every detail.
Then there's the argument that even if you didn't consciously think about the meaning behind something you wrote, there was an unconscious bias that affected your story. For example, you don't realize that your favorite toy was a blanket because you liked the security the blanket gave you.
I'm not saying these arguments are always correct, I'm just saying they're worth considering before getting angry at teachers for trying to find meaning in the details.

Right? I can't tell if the op is trying to appeal to the reasoning of bigoted people, or if he really feels that way.

Portuguese: calor (hot like weather), and I think picada means spicy, though I'm not too sure about that one.

I was in a Sunday school class and we were talking about Jesus raising the widow's son from death. Our teacher asked us, "How do you think that impacted that boy's life?" No one says anything for a few moments, then one girl says "Well, he lived the rest of his life without being dead."
No one laughed but me.

From the admittedly little I've seen of Naruto, I feel like guns would not affect the length of the show, because they would still just spend 3/4 of each episode monologuing.

Yeah, I don't mean to say that that is her intention. It's just my gut reaction. It's not really logical; it's more of a reflex. Basically, it just makes me a little uncomfortable/self-conscious, but I know that's more because of me and my experiences than the artist's intention.

Yeah, some of the more sexualized ones (like Elsa) make me feel a little uncomfortable--like that's what "all" straight men see when they see these cartoon characters--but I can still appreciate the artist's style. And if she's self-taught, that is just amazing.

The Portuguese word for "luck" is "sorte" (sor-chee), so for "lucky," I would say either "com sorte" (with luck) or "fortunada" (fortunate).

I think Portuguese would be feiticao (fay-chees-ow). The c should actually have a cedilla, but I don't have access to that with my keyboard right now.

Obrigado/Obrigada in Portuguese. If you're a guy, it's always "obrigado" (oh-bree-gah-doo) no matter who you're talking to. For girls, it's always "obrigada" (oh-bree-gah-dah). It technically means something along the lines of "I'm obligated to you/I'm indebted to you," but it is just used as a regular "thank you."

As a short person, I can confirm it is either this or using the broom to knock my chips down.
