Responding to some of the comments in the thread.
1. The assignment isn't simply to understand the "Great Gatsby" it's to be able to read, synthesize your thoughts into a formal coherent argument or perspective on the book. If you cliff notes or AI, you are missing the point.
2. [OPINION] The fact that we are still teaching the same book is a bit of an issue. There are many well written books you can do this with.
3. [OPINION] at the same time, having everyone read the same book across the nation over time does help create the base for some sort of collective cultural and intellectual identity.
