When I read the chapters I feel as though the narrator is moving up in the social ranks, making a difference, and beginning to see some of the realities of the culture that he lives in. Yet, when I read SparkNotes, and the references to the ultimate betrayal of the Brotherhood, I read the chapters with a different feeling. I am looking for points of deception, I don't trust them, and think that I am reading differently (maybe with a prejudice) than if I read with out the advanced knowledge provided by SparkNotes.
