The American Dream in The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald’s novel is often read as a celebration of ambition, but the story it tells is closer to a warning. Each of its central figures reaches for a version of the American Dream, and each discovers that the thing they wanted has already slipped out of reach by the time they arrive.

Gatsby’s mansion, his parties, and his carefully rehearsed past are all built for a single audience. The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock becomes the clearest symbol of this: something bright, close enough to see, and never quite close enough to hold.

Tom and Daisy, by contrast, already possess what Gatsby is chasing, and the novel is unsparing about what that possession has done to them.

TrueMark is a tool that combines the security of a blue book with the convenience of a Google Doc.

Here’s how it works.

Before

Shape the process.

You decide:

Whether students can use AI, and if so, how.
Which course materials they can see while they work.
Whether they can open other tabs or paste in outside text.

Whether students can use AI, and if so, how.
Which course materials they can see while they work.
Whether they can open other tabs or paste in outside text.

These three choices cover everything from in-class quick writes to essays with multiple drafts.

Can you write my intro?

I can’t write it for you. What’s your argument, in one sentence?

During

The ground rules take care of themselves while students work.

Students write in either a Google Doc or TrueMark’s own editor. Wherever they write, the ground rules you set earlier are built in, and every edit is saved.

If you enabled AI help, it asks questions that make students think more, not less. It draws on your course materials and your rubric, and never writes a word for them.

After

Confidence that the work is theirs. Support when it isn’t.

Building integrity in from the start means far fewer questions at the end.

But if anything comes up, you can see a clear record of every edit, every AI chat, and where every paste came from.

So you walk in prepared for a conversation, not a false accusation.

“The main benefit is their finished work being theirs”
Peter Quartuccio
English Teacher
“TrueMark does two things well. One, it moves away from catching cheating on the back end and more toward creating a safe space for students to work in on the front end...But what sets TrueMark apart is that it also intentionally leverages AI for good — it teaches students how they can use AI to deepen their thinking.”
Robert E.
Director of Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment
“It’s the best tool that I’ve found to help kids think.”
