Do I underline this or not?
Hello, I'm writing a bio narrative. I was typing the final draft when I noticed the title. (omg so dramatic). It's called Piano Debut. It's 5 paragraphs long, 3 pages, no specific number of sentences was required. Do I underline the title? Or do I put it in quotes? Why or why not? I'm confused; this has never been my best part of english. Thank you so very much. Oh, and the paper's due tomorrow. I know, procrastinator! But I just forgot to ask. I had a toothache. Anyways, thanksssss

On your own paper, just center the title at the top of the page without any special formatting and skip a couple lines before beginning your first paragraph. However, if you have only 5 paragraphs over 3 pages, I suggest your paragraphs are a bit too long. One paragraph that takes up well over half a page is going to be a challenge for your readers.

Hi Anon,
(hope your toothache is better!)
In addition to centering your title on the page, I would suggest increasing the font size to set it off from your text. For example, if you are using 11 or 12 pt for the text, try 16 pt for the title. Word [Ofc 2007 version] has a title format, but I think it is really big--like 24 pt, which may be too large for your narrative.
