Answer:The story of "Bile" by author Christine Lee Zilka, explores the course of bitterness from one generation to another, and the acknowledgment of a hard life growing up through war of a first-generation American family.

“Bile” is set up by the ritual of tasting gallbladder, as a reminder of suffering.

The tone of the story oscillates among acid, awkward and traumatic, due the story is framed by the vestiges of the Korean War; so in the overall "Bile" has a bitter tone.
