Blog 5 Reflection On Concious

I Do Agree With What The Quote That Huck Made.
“But That’s Always; The Way It Don’t Make No Difference Weather You Do Right Or Wrong, A Person’s Conscience Ain’t Got No Sense, And Just Goes For Him Anyway. Basically He’s Saying That You Can Make Wrong Decisions From Time To Time And KNOW That Your Doing Wrong While Your Doing Wrong. But Your Conscience Gets The Best Of You In The End. Sometime Your Conscience Get You In The Heat Of The Moment And Prevent You From Doing Wrong. But You Should Always Follow Your Conscience.
Huck’s Conscience Got The Best Of Him When: He Was Wanting To Tell Mary-Jane The Truth About “The King And Duke” Being Cons. As Well As When He Wanted To Go Back And Get Jim When The King And Duke Sold Him. Also When He Wanted To Tell The King And Duke That The Town Knew About Them Being Phony. And Finally When He Was Becoming Miserable, Knowing He Helped A Slave Escape. Huck’s Conscience Always Gets To Him And That’s Not Really A Bad Thing. So I Do Agree.
A Time When My Conscience Got The Best Of Me , Is One day In the Summer. I Knew That My Mom as Coming Right Back Home And I Wasn’t Suppose To Have Any Company While She Was Gone, But I Did. I Haven’t Seen My Boyfriend For A While And He Was Down The Street (At Keeneth’s House) And Me, Ellen, Ashton, And Keeneth All Stayed At My House (Outside) . It Got Later And My Conscience Was Telling Me To Tell Them To Leave Because My Mom Was Coming Shortly (I Could Feel It). 2 Minutes Passed Literally And My Mom Pulled Up And She Looked Mad So I Knew I Was In Trouble Everybody Left. But As A Result I Was On Punishment For 2 Weeks. So I Should Have Just Followed My Consience. You Should Always Trust It.

blog post 2:huck finn (chap 13-17)

Widow Douglas Influence Huck Directly When She helps him understand the ‘book’ and when he says that It’s boring and he’d rather go to the ‘bad place’. Page2 The Widow Looked out for Huck as if he were her own son, she was basically turning him into a gentlemen. The Widow Made sure Huck Went to school. Made sure he was nice and clean. The Widow influenced Huck Indirectly as well. When the widow isn’t even around Huck thinks of her. An example of this is when Huck and Jim ‘Runaway’ Huck Had Sort Of a second thought like OH, Well I just helped Jim get away. That’s the Widow’s slave and in Huck’s eyes The Widows property.

Tom Sawyer Influenced Huck Directly, he teaches Huck to be ‘slick’ basically get away with things. And Tom influence Huck Indirectly as well. An example being, before Huck does some things, he might stop and say what would Tom think of that?

Pap, in my eyes doesn’t have a good influence on Huck at all. The most that I could say would be that pap is Huck’s motivation. I say this because pap doesn’t want Huck in school. He says I couldn’t read and neither could your mother, so no son of mine will try to out smart me. But hard headed Huck wants to try this ‘Dead Beat’ of a dad he has and still go to school. Knowing it would only make pap more upset. School is a wonderful thing to me, so if you have the opportunity take advantage regardless of what your ‘dad’ has said.(chapter 5) I also believe that Huck is afraid of Pap. Which is why Huck gave his money to Judge Thatcher, he didn’t want pap to get a hold of it. So I think that’s how pap influenced him indirectly.

I think Jim influenced Huck directly, with all the ‘bad luck and good luck’ things. Like touching the snake skin and everything.(chapter 10) and I think Jim influenced Huck indirectly as well, I think like that because Huck thinks about Jim without necessarily saying anything. So Jim sort of have an effect on him. Because Huck is having a hard time trying to figure out if he is doing the right thing helping Jim escape. He begins to get depressed chapter16.

Without these key influences in his life, Huck would be a very different person.
