The conflict in the Austere Academy is an external conflict. It begins when Coach Genghis makes Violet, Sunny, and Klaus Baudelaire run laps every night from sundown to sunrise. He made the Baudelaires paint a large glow in the track for them to run around. Coach Genghis is a pseudonym for the mean and cruel Count Olaf. Count Olaf is the main reason of the conflict because he is trying to capture the Baudelaires so he can steal their fortune. The climax in the book is when Count Olaf or A.K.A Coach Genghis arrives at Prufrock Preparatory School and becomes the new Gym teacher. The resolution to the conflict is that the Quagmires ( the Baudelaires Friends) help get Count Olaf busted for trying to steal the Baudelaires Fortune, but however get themselves in to extreme danger.
Psychology Major here! :) Hope this helps:
1) Up to date, there is still no definite answer when it comes the capacity of information a brain can withhold - it is truly unlimited.
2) The size of a brain varies between species and its capacity to retain information varies as well.
3) Humans have the most complex psychological process to understand, however, there are many other species who have incredible cognitive intelligence. (Such as dolphins, for example.)
4) When damage is done to a certain side of the brain and there is a need to remove the damaged area, there is a possibility that the undamaged parts of the brain can take over the same functions as the removed area. (Therefore, for example, the remaining part of your brain can still nearly function to a maximum capacity depending of the severity of damage... as well as area).
5) The brain named itself "brain".
(The brain controls you, but you control the brain.)
