Wright's stealing

I really cannot decide if Wright is justified in stealing. A lot of people around him are stealing, so it was amazing he went such a long time without trying it. The reason that he is stealing is so that he can get out of his house and eventually move north where he thinks everything will be better. But stealing from your boss, like he did at the movie theatre, and from the grain house and from his neighbor were not the best choices. I know that he said in the book if he had not stolen and just worked for the money it would have taken a couple years for him to leave, and he could not stand waiting that long. And after he does steal, he feels badly about it. This is why it is so difficult for me to decide whether or not he is justified. It's like what we talked about in class, it is hard to say whether he is good or bad. I would have probably done the same thing if I were in his position.
