"But that's always the way; it don't make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person's conscience ain't got no sense, and just goes for him anyway."part 1 : If I were to put Huck's quote about his concscience in my own words, I would say that it may all depend on what situation youre in. In some cases i may I listen to my concscience. Then theres other times I listen to my conscience and dont think about it twice. For the most part I always try to make the right decision whether its bad or not.
Huck’s conscience influenced him a few times in the story for example when he decides that it would be best to tell ms.watson about her slave jim running away. I think that, that was a good decision because then she could stop worrying about where he might be and if he would ever come back or what happend . Another time Huck’s conscience influences him is when he tells the duke that he saw a nigger go into their rooms plenty of times. I agree with that decision because then I wouldnt get into trouble, it may be wrong but thats what I would have done. Another time Huck’s conscience influences him is when he makes up a lot of stories about how it was in England. I agree with that decision because by doing that they might actually think I was from England.
One time when my conscience took over me into making the wrong decision eas in middle school. I was affected by peer pressure a lot by the coolerkids.One day they asked me if i wanted to smoke with them. My first thought was just to walk away, but i didnt want to seem like a lame person. So without thinking again I said yeah and then we went around the back of the school and smoked. When I took the first puff i knew it wasnt the right thing to do so i walked away from them and went back to school where i knew i should be.

my place-the gym
The Gym
When i put on my headphones i listen to the music of my favorite rapper as i lift the weight bar. I can run on the treadmill while the fan blows its fresh breeze to my face. I move both feet back and fourth as i run on the track as i thought to myself, i cant wait to finish and get that taste of refreshing gatorade. Lifting my head high up to the sky i gasp for breath as i think about all the stressful things i've been dealing with. I go to this beautiful place every weekend, to let all my anger for the week. This place is usually packed with people whoo wants to get body fit, but thats not me. I just want to lift weights, run on the treadmill and clear my head. Sometimes when im in a good mood i enjoy taking a couple friend with me to challenge my weigh lifting ability. When im in the boxing ring sparring with an oppenent I feel like i can take on the world and nothing could affect me.The sweat runs into my mouth from my forehead and I taste an salty mixture. When the sweat gets in my eyes it burns so bad sometimes, i might even want to cry. But hey, if this what it takes to let out my pain, then im all in so I can feel better about myself.
