What were some of the characteristics of Barkana, where Malala's grandfather lived? Explain, citing evidence from the text.

In Chapter 4, Malala talks of leaving Mingora to travel to her father's family's small village of Barkana for the Eid holidays. She has fond memories of traveling there in a bus and staying with the extended family, enjoying true Pashtun hospitality. Her cousins thought of her as modern because she was from the city. Pashtunwali, their code of conduct, was especially well enforced in the small villages, and women were even more restricted in their behavior. Malala did not like these restrictions and complained about them to her father, who said that life was even worse for Pashtuns in Afghanistan because of a group called the Taliban. But he always said that Malala was as free as a bird, and he promised to protect her freedom.
