What are some similarities and differences in how Old Major's speech in the novel Animal Farm, and the speech given by Joseph Lenin convey related themes?

Hey! I’m writing a story and need some ideas on what should happen next.
“ About thirty minutes later, I hear a car horn outside my apartment. This is it. The moment I’m going to enter the car of the person I’m supposed to hate. Why did I tell him I’d go to the park with him? I walk out and try to open the car door, it’s locked. I knock on the window and mouth to him that the door is locked. He nods his head and starts laughing at me. I knew this was a bad idea. He is awful! I angrily glare at him for a few seconds until he finally unlocks the door and lets me in. When I enter the car I ask him, “Why did you do that?” He laughs and says, “Because it was funny.” I roll my eyes and say, “No it wasn’t.” He starts the car then says, “Wow, not even thirty seconds with me and you’re already rolling your eyes?” I glare at him for what feels like forever and he makes another sarcastic comment, “Sunflower, if you wanna stare at me, you should take a picture. It lasts longer.” Ugh! “You’re so annoying, I’m so regretting coming with you!” He grins and keeps on driving. I honestly still have no idea why he invited me but I guess I’ll never know. After minutes of awkward silence, I decide to say something. “So pretty boy, why did you invite me to the park?” He looks over at me and says, “I have a name you know.” “Yeah, so do I, but yet, you never use it.” He smiles at me. “True”, he says. I smile. I’m really getting used to this fun side of him. Hang on, what? What am I saying? Getting used to him? No, never. I get rid of that thought and as I do, he parks the car and says, “Here we are. Are you ready to have fun?” I look over at him and respond, “I’m with you, I’m not sure how much fun I can actually have.” He rolls his eyes and says, “Right back at you. You’re no fun either.” I ignore him and we get out of the car.”


What should happen while these two are at the park? (By the way, these two always argue they basically hate eachother. Seth (the guy driving) made a bet on Sila (the girl he is with) That is just a little background info. PS I did already ask this question and I got some creative people to help me, I’m just looking for a variety of ideas :)
