Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, has been moved to a hospice care facility near her home in Roswell, Georgia, just outside Atlanta. The 22 year-old has failed to regain her health after being found unresponsive, face down in her bathtub on January 31. While the details of the incident remain unclear, it has been rumored that Brown's boyfriend Nick Gordon had violently assaulted her hours previously. Gordon is currently facing a lawsuit. Meanwhile, five months later, young Bobbi Brown's condition continues to deteriorate. The incident has chilled family, friends, and fans alike, especially in light of the death of Brown's mother, Whitney Houston, in 2012. Houston was found dead in a bathtub in a hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The official autopsy report showed that Houston had accidentally drowned, and that cocaine use and heart disease were both contributing factors in the death. After Houston died, her daughter Bobbi inherited the music legend's entire estate, including cars, clothes, personal effects, and furniture. Brown was also provided with trust fund payments, where are awarded to her in installments until she reaches the age of 30, at which point Brown will receive the remainder of the $115 million estate. Brown has been in a coma since Gordon, a longtime family friend and current boyfriend who lives with Brown at her residence, assaulted her. Her family has declined to comment on rumors that the girl is brain-damaged. Details of the situation…
Values of a person are the things that they believe are important in their lives. It is a way to know how the person is, almost like “judging a book by its cover”, except the cover is their value. I did not know what my values were. It was not until today that I found out. Although my values are different from the ones when I was a kid, I believe the values I have now are the right ones. At a young age, I can remember that my values were fun and friends. The values that I had back then are not…

Veronica climbed into the big bed, jeans off, and pulled the big, soft blanket to her chin. The lights were soft in Logan’s room, she’d never noticed that before. The rest of the world was this harsh, unforgivable place, lighting up her weak spots with hot, bright lights, but there, Veronica almost felt safe. She smiled to herself in his bed; she’d confronted her best friend’s killer there, she shook her head. But that was how she was, that was who she was- what had Logan said? The bravest…
1. In terms of casting for Stella Kowalski, the actress would have to be young and gentle looking. She would also most likely be of average beauty. In the play Stella is described as, “…a gentle young woman, about twenty-five, and of a background obviously quite different from her husband” (1778). This meaning that her husband is rough looking while Stella is delicate and small. Another example of Stella being slightly delicate is how Blanche refers to her. Blanche calls her a “precious lamb”…
Kayla stood, brushing off her dress of nonexistent dirt, only needing something for her trembling hands to do. "I am sorry, but I do not think it possible I 'm your daughter.

I offer my condolences," Kayla said with a curtsy before she left. Leaving the queen to stare after the small, lithe…
