...a diddle would be no diddle without a grin.
I really liked how this satire on swindling was very easy to read and fun. I also liked that he explained about all "ingredients" of diddling in the beginning and then ended up giving us an example of each throughout the story. Even though it was fun to read, I found myself kind of at a loss for the point of the story. Was anyone else feeling this way? I kind of find myself getting bummed out at the end of some of his work because I enjoyed it all the way through-- but then it ends up being a story that doesn't even stick with me to want to bring up over dinner or anything. Am I missing something? Feel free to yell at me if you disagree! I liked reading it, I'll definitely stick to that, but is there more to it than that?

No your not just making it up, I felt that way as well. I agree that it was fun to read though, and I found myself trying to figure out what kind of diddle I was. I don't think I was any of those. I was kind of reading it as types of personality, like psychologically speaking. It was interesting.
You're not the only one to feel this way. I definitely was confused and lost through parts of it but it was amusing nonetheless.
Libbie, I agree. I really enjoyed reading the story, however, it lacked a thought provoking ending. I had to glance back over the story in class to remind myself of the story. Corrine, I'm glad I'm not the only one that tried to find out what kind of diddler they would be. I like the point you made about it being similar to personality markers. I didn't see that until I read your post.
