Read the passage
As Sydney unlocked the back door, she sighed at how easily it opened. She used to have to put her shoulder in just the right spot to force their old door to open. They’d had this new back door, this new house, for not quite a year. “It should feel like home by now,” she thought sadly before greeting her dog Charlie, a spunky beagle with big brown eyes. Three years ago, a tornado had torn through their town, decimating everything in its path, and their house had been part of the decimation. It took two never-ending years, but Sydney’s family rebuilt their house with the help of a very generous insurance check, and, according to her mom and little sister, the new house was an improvement. Sydney could admit it was a little bigger and even a little nicer—the back door didn’t stick anymore, for example—but she preferred their old house, even with all of its imperfections.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.

sorry but can you explain the question because i didn’t understand it

the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

hope this !
