I believe Huck's quote "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." means: your conscience is always right. It doesn't matter if you did it or someone else did it. It doesn't matter if you think it was right. Your conscience will tell if it's right no matter what. I agree with this completely. I belive that your conscience always knows whats best, or atleast what you know is right, deep down. It tells you subconciously if you are doing something wrong. Not everybody listens to thiers, but they can keep you out of trouble, or make you feel really guilty.
One example of Huckleberry Finn's conscience affecting him was in the very beginning of the book when him andTom snuck out. Tom put Jims hat over his head while he was sleeping. When Jim awoke he believed that witches were picking on him. Huck felt bad. His conscience told him it was wrong and mean. Another example would be when he found the criminals on the ship wreck. He knew they were bad men, but he also knew they might die. He felt bad that they could die. Lastly when the King and the Duke were going to take all that money from the orphan girls he felt realy really horrible. He decided that it was wrong so he took the money and hid it so Mary Jane could get it back after they left.
My conscience has made me make the right decision a few times. One time in particular was when I had broken my moms vase from playing catch in the house. I knew I was wrong and my first instinct was to lie to stay out of trouble. I also knew that that was wrong so i told her i did it and i got in less trouble than if i would have lied.
