Philia

I thought I would share a transcript of a particularly productive moment in my 9th grade English (sic) class:



We watched the end of Zeferellis Romeo & Juliet today in class. During the scene in which Romeo discovers Juliet, who appears to be dead, lying in the Capulet family crypt, the following discussion occurred:



Julio Baez: Yo, hes gonna jump on her!

Ms. Young: Julio, nowhere on this planet would that be an appropriate thing to say.

Julio: No, Ms. Young! I think hes a hermaphrodite!

Ms. Young: Julio, hes not a hermaphrodite.

Julio: No, Ms. Young! For real! Theres really people who like to have sex with dead people!

Ms. Young: Yes, but theyre not called hermaphrodites, theyre called necrophiliacs.

Julio: (Aside to Felix) Shes so stupid. (To me) No Ms. Young, necrophiliac is when you have that disease where you cant stop bleeding.



At least theyre learning something.
