Parvana was given a lot of responsibility for a young girl, but along came benefits other girls weren’t able to enjoy. Explain.

Parvana is the novel's protagonist. At eleven years old, her body is not recognizably a woman's, which allows her to disguise herself as a boy named Kaseem. By doing so, she is able to leave the home to make money and buy groceries. Parvana is often frustrated by the amount of responsibility she must take on as the family breadwinner but sees the freedom and respect she gets as a perceived boy.
