    retell vs providing own interpretation

    We're supposed to avoid retell wherever we can in an essay, so how would you go about stating your own interpretation of a text if this is not allowed- does backing it up with analysis sort of negate the retell?

    Gosh I'm bad at identifying language techniques... I'm looking for techniques in "a most dauntless, voiceless fortitude". I've been looking around and the closest I can find is superlative but I'm not really sure that fits the bill.
