What promises do Stanton and Orwell make to their audiences and how does each author fulfill his promise with regards to the narrative

Stanton promises his audience that the story he narrates is worth their time and that they are free to work out the meaning.  Similarly, Orwell promises his audience freedom to decide and imposes upon them the responsibility to learn for themselves.

Stanton fulfills his promise to his audience by making them to "work for it without them knowing they are working," so that they can be part of the story.   In his own words, he says, "People like to figure things out but the magic is having your audience thinking without them knowing they are doing it."

On the part of Orwell, he tells his story and allows his audience to read meanings into the narratives, the meanings that they have chosen.  He makes his voice clearly heard, but believes that "you can take a horse to the stream, but you cannot force it to drink."
