Question

"Mr. Stiles watched, and when he

turned I slowed down just a little bit,
because work is one thing and killing
yourself is another."

Explain what Eddie means by this?

Answer 1

I honestly stumbled on this so I wouldnt actually know sorry :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sounds like someone was watching them do some work so they decided to work really hard while being watched to the point where it felt like they were "killing themselves" working that hard to impress Mr. Stiles. When Mr. Stiles turned away they decided to work slower because that would seem to the reasonable working pace.
