/lit/ - Literature

I took the AP Language and Composition test last Friday. College Board has released the free response questions, and here was the third one, the argumentative essay:

>For centuries, prominent thinkers have pondered the relationship between ownership and the development of self
(identity), ultimately asking the question, “What does it mean to own something?”
>Plato argues that owning objects is detrimental to a person’s character. Aristotle claims that ownership of tangible
goods helps to develop moral character. Twentieth-century philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre proposes that ownership
extends beyond objects to include intangible things as well. In Sartre’s view, becoming proficient in some skill and
knowing something thoroughly means that we “own” it.
>Think about the differing views of ownership. Then write an essay in which you explain your position on the
relationship between ownership and sense of self. Use appropriate evidence from your reading, experience, or
observations to support your argument.

So, high school juniors were asked to write a spontaneous essay on this prompt for potential college credit.

Thoughts?

The College Board has a list of novels/works that are "wide and deep" that are required reading for the AP Literature/Composition examination. Some of these works are worthy enough to deserve a spot on any reading list (I enjoyed Great Expectations and Invisible Man greatly), but what about the others? What is /lit/'s opinion on this list, ie. added texts, dropped texts, etc (if you care for what high school kids have to read).
