I was born in 1939, in a small county town in Suffolk, resting on the banks of the River Deben. We lived in a rented house, which
was over 100 years old. The house had a large front room, a small bedroom, and a kitchen. Poverty was a constant guest at our
house until we were older. My father died even before I was born, and my mother had to support my sister, my two brothers, our
grandparents, and me. We did not have electricity or running water in the house.
Mother had to work many jobs to take care of us all. Sometimes, after she had paid rent, there was little left to buy groceries.
Life was hard. I wore my brothers clothes when they outgrew them, and mother would stitch torn clothes to make them last longer.

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.
