Title of Paper: Capitalized But Not Bold

            Make sure your paperś margins are 1 inch. This is usually the standard set up of most documents. Also, ensure that your paragraphs are indented using the TAB button, not the space bar. Next, be sure to italicize book titles like Fast Food Nation by investigative journalist Eric Schlosser and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Put internet articles like ¨Food and You: The Moment You Realize Whatś In Your Mouth¨ in quotes.

           Also notice the paper is written in Times New Roman and in size 12 font. Quotes should be introduced correctly like the one time I said, ¨Make sure to use quotation marks and commas correctly.¨ Lastly, the end of quotes should be properly cited in MLA format (Greene, 42).
