Conversation Analysis

A conversation between the sword and the neck – Ghassan Kanafani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgZdCJOUAk

Above is the conversation that I am analyzing, my motivation is that with whats happening in Palestine at these times and the media coverage a lot of things do not get covered by media or get lost in translation (from Arabic to English). This very famous conversation is in English and allows us to view things directly just like the people of Palestine do. my main purpose is to analyze Ghassan’s  usage of  verbal and non-verbal communication during his interview, and then look for the reasons behind that.
