What are 20 main events in The Skin I'm In?

There are a couple of things that need to be stated in a
question like this.  The first is that the idea of "main events" will differ from person
to person.  Therefore, what I consider to be the 20 main events of a story might not be
what another person considers to be "main events."  It is important that this is kept in
mind with a question like this.  Another issue is that, unless there is specific
directions to counter, really anything can count as a main idea.  The internal
revelations of characters, the discovery of their motivations, as well as implications
of the plot development and thematic conctent connection can constitute as a "main
event."  It is important to keep this in mind.


Accordingly,
coming up with 20 statements of Maleeka's experience is not that difficult.  The setting
can be one main event, the description of the main character can take up multiple main
events, the interaction with her English teacher, Miss Saunders, can be another event,
as well as Miss Saunders' description of her skin can represent another.  Following
this, 20 events is something that can happen with relative ease.
