Act III begins sadly, as there is said to be a "sullen light of gloom" in the apartment. Although everyone is distressed over the loss of money at the beginning, things begin to change by the end. Asagai comes and convinces Beneatha that although the money for medical school is gone, she can travel to Africa and practice there with him. This covers both her need to help people, along with her need for african culture. Walter almost sells the new house back to Lindner, but is convinced by the rest of the family that they have pride and give up there home because of there race. I think Walter matures alot, and instead of chasing crazy dreams, is happy with his families new home.

In the beginning of the play, Mama tells how her and Big Walter dreamed of moving out of the apartment after a year. At the end of the play, I realized that although the dreams of Beneatha and Walter were adjourned, Mama finally made it into her new home, her dream came true.
