Reflection on Conscience

Well I do agree with Huck. Because it’s true whether you do something right or wrong your conscience interferes with it. Like if you’re about to do something bad you know its bad but you really want to do it. And your conscience is telling you hey you’re going to have consequences with this. So you think hey I might not want to do this. And when you do something good your conscience interferes because your thinking hey am I going to have a consequence by doing this or that. So either way your conscience interferes with the decisions you make.



One example is when he helped tom fight off the bad guy. Even though he said he didn’t have any friends he helped tom. Because he knew if tom was to get killed or hurt really badly he would have a guilty conscience and he would feel very bad. Because he could of helped him. And he knew that if he was in trouble tom would help him because tom was his friend. Another example from the book is when he put the money back he took. He knew that it would really upset the family and Mary Jane and it would cause more problems so he did the right thing by putting it back. And one last example from the book is how he’s going to save Jim. Even though Jim is slave Huck knows it’s the right thing to do because Jim is his friend. And Jim would do the same for him. So he’s risking everything to save him. Huck is a really good person even though he does bad things sometimes he also does a lot of good.



Well this was like in February of this year and I was going through a lot of stuff. And the main thing that triggered it was my sister’s death. I wanted to just end my life because I was in so much pain. And it seemed like nothing could help me. I was so stressed out and I didn’t know what else to do. But I didn’t do it I couldn’t because I thought about how my parents would feel my friends and my family they would be so hurt. And I thought what my sister would think. And I thought about it a little myself. If I would have did it I would have been taking the coward way out. And I knew that I wasn’t a coward so even though it was hard I got through it and im steal dealing with it. Because I know im strong person and I know my family and friends are there for me so im not alone.
