Can someone plz me with this? what does it mean to make changes from the outside in? and what does it mean to make changes from the inside out?

Outside changes, here, may mean changes brought/improvements brought about by government agencies and authorities.

Inside changes may mean, people's sense of self-responsibility, their efforts to improve their own society and surroundings.

Explanation:

Outside changes or improvement may happen efforts ans steps taken by government (on local, state or country level) to to improve people's lives, conditions, ethics by various steps such as opening educational institutes, making better laws and enforcing them, eliminating poverty. These changes which took place outside (externally) will improve people's ethics and behavior (inside changes). People can hardly do anything to bring about these changes/improvements since it is government's responsibility and they have the power to do it.

Inside changes as mentioned before are changes which people should bring in themselves e.g not trashing the streets, using resources responsibly, helping others in their capacity, upbringing their children with better ethics. People can bring about these changes. These changes are inside out since they will finally improve the overall society.

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.

appeal to ethos is your answer.
