In Afghanistan, "bacha posh" directly translates to "dressed like a boy" for children who are born female. The families may choose to raise their daughters as bacha posh to ensure safety and a better quality of life.

During their childhood, bacha poshs are allowed movement to run errands, escort sisters, go to school and get an education, and even play sports. The parents give much freedom to bacha poshs. Once she reaches puberty she is expected to switch to a conservative women's lifestyle; to marry and have children. The parents behavior towards their daughter during and after the bacha posh phase is contradictory - the relationship towards their daughter is the complete opposite afterwards.

So now on nights when my mother presented her tests, I performed listlessly, my head propped on one arm. I pretended to be bored
Natalka [10]

Answer:

I believe three options can be chosen:

  1. She wants her mother to feel differently about her.
  2. She feels a strong need for independence.
  3. She wants to influence her mother’s behavior.

Explanation:

This excerpt is part of the short story "Two Kinds", by Amy Tan. The main character, June, is expected to become a prodigy child by her mother, Suyuan. Her mother quizzes her on different subjects and demands that she take piano lessons.

At a certain point, June begins to defy her mother's wishes. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, for instance, she decides to show how bored and uninterested she is with the intention of making her mother give up on her. June is fighting - as much as she can as a child - for own independence. She believes she can change her mother's feelings and behavior if she performs badly at the tasks she is given.
