Finishing the plot summary: CHAPTER 13 HOLY COW WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!? The Pritchard boy fell onto Billy’s axe. To "fall on your sword" means that you are accepting responsibility for some negative act (typically of a negligent or criminal nature).

Do you think this final act ion of the Pritchard boy was a way of him accepting responsibility for this action? Do you think the author is trying to say something? Do you think that he just had it coming? Finishing the plot summary:
