* You should decide how you're going to indicate titles, direct quotations, special words, and hints of sarcasm. Italics for titles is good, double quotes for direct quotations is good. For other uses I recommend single quotes. Using double quotes for everything looks a bit odd.

Thank you! Fixed the quotes and the first paragraph indent (such a dumb mistake!)
