Life

“Life is the same way for everyone. If you do good things it does not matter and if you do bad things it doesn’t matter. Your conscience does not matter” This is a quote that Huck Finn uses in his book that I do not necessarily agree with because of the fact that it is plain out wrong. This quote in my opinion can not be justified to be moral in any way.
Some ways in which Huck’s conscience influences his behavior is the whole slavery issue that the book is based on, stealing small items, and lying. Huck sees that Jim is a slave but decides to help him escape for freedom because he sees that it is wrong. Also Huck steals watermelons and other items a lot and calls it borrowing because of his naivety. He later sees that it is wrong and stops. Lastly Huck used to tell a lie all, the time that was until it was brought to his attention that that was wrong and now he only lies when necessary.
One time in which my conscience has gotten he best of me was when there was a fight between two people one of which was my friends. I knew that it would be wrong to jump in and help but I wanted to help a friend. I automatically got involved but due to the constant nagging of my conscience I decided not to get involved it was better for me because of the fact that I avoided a suspension and other problems.
