EXERCISE 1The graph shows the number cases of violence Newtown between the years 1970 and 2010. As an overall trend, it is clear that the number cases of violence increased fairly rapidly until the mid eighties, remained constant for around a decade 700 cases before dropping zero the late 90s. 1990, the number cases stood approximately 300. That number rose steadily 500 by 1999 and then more sharply 900 2003. this point the number cases remained stable until2005 before plummeting zero by 2008. 2008 2010 Newtown was free violence.conclusion, the graph shows that violence was increasingly prevalent until the 2005 when it was eradicated from Newtown.

EXERCISE 2The graph shows the number donors Oldtown between the years 1980 and 2010. As an overall trend, it is clear that the number donors has decreased, as has the number transplants being carried ; the number people needing transplants however, has significantly increased. The number donors started 150 1980 and then went gradually 200 1985 and continued 250 1990 and then went more sharply 320 1998. It can be clearly seen that the number donors increased rapidly 500 around thebeginning of 2000and then dropped back 180 before 2002, while the number transplants being carried rose consistently a low point of less than 50 1980 nearly 150 operations 2000.This means that there is a balance between the number organs available for transplant and the number organ donors, which means that there will obviously not be enough organs to provide each, or even most of those on the transplant list (need an organ) with the organ that they need.
