The author have the narrator use the line at the end of the passage to show that Bird, the narrator's brother, is crazy to want to swim in the river.

Harrison Scott Key's memoir "My Dad Tried to Kill Me with an Alligator" is a narrative about the narrator reminiscing about his growing-up years. The whole narration follows the narrator growing up with his thrill-loving, adventurous father and brother and his own role as a father to two daughters.

  • The given excerpt is from when his brother Bird decided to take him fishing without their father.
  • Moreover, when Bird insisted that they swim in the waters, which the narrator knows had alligators, he refused sternly.
  • The narrator was less adventurous and brave, unlike his father and brother.
  • So, his remark "it's just I don't want to die" is more to show how crazy Bird is in wanting to swim in the water.
  • It also showed the narrator's fear of getting into the water when he knows there are alligators in it.

The whole story is about the narrator's growing up years and his own reality of raising two daughters. While he may have hated the way his father had "taught" them life lessons, he also realized that that was just how his father had declared his love for them. The given line said by the narrator shows his intention to show how crazy Bird is in wanting to swim in the river.
