In my English II class we're currently reading Julius Caesar. One of the kids asked if Caesar or Brutus was the ruler when Rome burned. I said, no that was Nero, he played his violin while Rome burned. That exchange brought up the following....
Student One: Wait....so is Rome still around?
Me: Yes...you can't burn a country out of existence. It more burned the culture out of existence, but not the land mass.
Student Two: Rome's still around--it's just extra crispy.
Well then.
