Optimists believed they could reach their "hopes and dreams" in live. They participated in a large range of reform movements. These organized movements embodied the ideas of thinkers who were active in New England (1830s-1840s). Idealists believed that reality is not "out there" in material objects but instead exists in our ideas. "People simply needed to look within themselves to awaken a sense of wonder and recover their ones with the universe." Emerson taught only one thing, that every person was infinite.

Edgar Allan Poe has a dark side of him in his writing pieces.  He leans more towards gothic  horror and captures the readers attention through the plot of the story. He keeps readers on the edge of there seats and talk about shadowy passagways, haunting sounds, and damp rooms.
