Repetion of the phrase broil and growl can mean many different things.The phrase has different meanings at different points in the story. On page 2 Uncle Buck said he thought a wall of broil and growl flood river would swallow him. I think the phrase here represents death and the power of the water. On page 5 the narrator says her aunt cut the rope and set out over the broil and growl. Once again i think she refers to the powerful water which killed her mother. The narrator sees the water as something that can destroy them, it can broil and growl like some kind of beast. The narrator sees the water like this because it killed her mother. Through out the story when the narrator talks about the water she uses the phrase. Apparently the narrator fears the water and hates it.
 * __Ken Booker:__**

Repitition of the phrase "Broil and Growl" happens througout the story at least 4 or 5 times. Its an adjective in this case. For example, in our world, we can do things in a rude manner. Here, they do it in a "broil and growl" manner. Other interpetations of the phrase may include, as you see above, the harshness of the water. Although, you cant really tell because each situation is different from the structure of the water. For example, the men in the resturaunt eating. As you can tell, that has nothing to do with water.

A-C-E Repitition in this story would have to be every time the thick men in the restuarant made a comment they would supposedly "broil and growl" For example"Boy, whats in this damn sauce--your eye?" and they'd laugh not knowing about my special sight, and laughed with a "broil and growl" at their joke about my eye in their sauce. This kind of repitition is more common when the thick men at the restuarant come into the story, just because of the fact that the thick men were the only ones that laughed and made comments with a "broil and growl"

Nicholas Pope: Repitition of "Broil and Growl" meant many things through the course of the story. Those different meanings all tied into one, "death." For example, when she and her aunt were riding in the boat and they saw her mother hung apon a fence, the narrator describes the sight as "Broil and Growl." Also the pile of dead bodies were described as "Broil and Growl." So you see, there were different meaning that all tied into one meaning which was death.

Maurice Chester I think that the repetitive use of “Broil and growl” is to bring back the reality of the situation that the town is in. The narrator continues to fall in and of this fantasy land where her mother is a “mermaid,” dead animals and insects are “sparkling jewels” and the murky, fecal laden and blood stained flood water is “glistening.” The phrase “broil and growl” also holds a negative feeling to it, and that also is a reason for the repetitive use of “broil and growl”

B-Big "Broil and growl" is a way they express theirself usually when laughing. It's usually used when someone is being talked about or when something not good is being done.

Aaron Thomas The repetition in this story is used between the words “Broil and Growl.” As already said it has different meanings. I think it is a harsh term that she uses to describe something. Maybe like in hell you may see or hear something Broil or Growl. Or you can picture the color red. It is a way of harshness. In the story the Broil and Growl refers to water several times. She probably hasn’t gotten over the water killing her mother or looks at the water as some kind of destructive force and fears it. Like I said before the Broil and Growl describe the harshness of something. She may look at it as the harshness and cruelty the water has done or can be. So to sum it up I think the Broil and Growl is a way to describe things she may fear or can be harsh in her own way. The symbolic water is fierce and its Broil and Growl is big.

Anthony Cosby In this story, the term "Broil and Growl" is used many times. It's used as a description. For example, when the men in the bar are laughing, the narrator describes it as a "Broil and Growl". this probalay means that it is a low, raspy laugh. It is also said in the story that the body of the narrator's mother is found "in the Browl and Growl of the water". This more than likley means that the water is fierce and intimidating to the narrator. Pretty much, "Browl and Growl" is used to describe things that are mean or intimidating.

Josh Carruth In the story the "broil and growl" was used in many different ways. For example the term was used to describe the way the men were laughing at the bar when they were talking about the girl. Also the term was used to describe the sound of the water when is was sucked up the girls mother down to the bottom. So threw out the story the term "Broil and Growl"was used to describe the different types of sounds in the story.

Jordan Pierce "Broil and Growl" is used many times in the story and is always describing something in a negative way (things the girl fears). It describes things like the men in the bar when they are laughing (they probably laughed like they smoked) and is used when the mom dies. "Broil and Growl" is only used when the girl is watching what is going on. It is never used if she is not there. It can also describe sound.
