Write a dialogue on an imaginary coversation that might have taken place between Napolean and Squealer just after the expulsion of Snowball.

An imaginary dialogue between Squealer and Napoleon might go like this:

Squealer: He's gone, the dogs ran him off the farm.  I don't think he will come back.

Napoleon: What was the reaction of the other animals?

Squealer: I have taken care of that.  I have already begun my campaign of re-education.  Snowball was a spy.  He was a traitor, he was working for the humans all along.  He was in league with Farmer Jones. 

Napoleon: What about the Battle of Cowshed?  How will you reconcile Snowball's bravery and his receipt of the medal?

Squealer:  Do not worry yourself with such things Great Leader, I will make the animals see that Snowball was a great actor, pretending to be wounded by the guns of the humans.  He actually ran when others charged.  I will convince them that Snowball was not their friend, not their comrade.

Napoleon: Ok, report back to me any sightings of Snowball, under no circumstances should be be allowed on the farm.  And he must not talk to any of the other animals.  Keep up the campaign of propaganda we will need total commitment from the animals in order to make the farm profitable.  There must be no discontent, no time for revolt.

Squealer: I will take care of everything Comrade Leader.

Napoleon: Those plans for that stupid windmill where are they?  Get them, we will make the animals build the windmill, when they are busy working, then exhausted, there will be no time for conversation, no discussion about discontent or questions about Snowball.  The windmill was, afterall, my idea, Snowball stole it and claimed it as his own.
