The other half of the story is a romantic suspense, as a romantic atmosphere starts to occur between Liz and Ted as she starts to realize that Ted is not the killer, and they end up as a couple right at the end of the story. To get into more detail about the mixture of these two classic and celebrated styles, I will use the sheet I was thankfully given by Ms. Milliorn to nit-pick at the details of these two styles.

The story deals with irrational ideas as taught to Candide about being optimistic, versus reality as seen by the rest of the world.

The sphinx is an epitome of destruction and chaos who establishes "the tax [they] had to pay [her]" (Madden 17) because she devourers all who fail to answer her riddle.

By destroying herself, the sphinx makes it possible for the .....
