Whats the main function of dill pickles? Normally, people usually eat them during the meals in order to s
24、tir up their appetite.Question: How does a dill pickle taste?A dill pickle tastes sour, spicy, bitter and sweet.Implication: It symbolizes the feeling of Vera, a mixture of flavors.Question: After you tasted dill pickles, would you enjoy them a lot?After you tasted dill pickles, you wouldnt enjoy th

30、the meeting will not bring Vera full satisfaction. In the text, Vera is looking forward to the meeting with the man, but it turns out to be no satisfaction at all.From the mans point of view:In his life, Vera is just an appetizer, not a main course, meaning she is not a person that the man would lik
