Paraphrasing is what you are looking for . This means rewriting or restating something. Not changing the main idea but instead creatively inputing your own insight of an original idea. So some good advice I can give about the above paragraph you have given. The above paragraph summarily believes that death penalty is better than just getting life in prison for a crime committed. This belief is defended by the idea that life in prison doesn't being relief or the end to something bad that has happened. The above paragraph specifically mentions the victims family members. The person believes the death pentaly is the best way to end a bad situation. The victims family get justice and peace while the criminal is punished for the crime they have done.
"I am not—for reasons you will soon discover—the same Charlotte Doyle." suggests that the character has changed in a way to where they aren't the same.
