Quotation marks for songs. Underlining or italics for movies.

I believe either italics or an underlined title are used if you are refering to a published book in academic work (Harvard style referencing).  Otherwise, if its unpublished/an Article/Song etc. it's put in between 2 apostrophes. (i.e. 'Title here')

In the old days of typewriters, it used to be underlined. \n\nNowadays, with the availability of home computers and printers, italics is a viable option and is widely used (partly because it looks better). \n\nIn support of this notion, the Chicago Manual of Style (the standard guide used by the majority of publishers) says to italicize. \n\nAsk your instructor if s/he demands underline, just in case.\n\nQuotation marks are often used to bracket the name of a short story or article.

u can write in italics or even within quotes but make the font size a bit smaller than what u have used in the report so that it will distinguish

I'd say italicize a film title.\nSee\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html#other

Technically you can either underline or italicize. Since the wonder of computers is that they, unlike typewriters, allow us to italicize, I'll encourage you to take advantage of modern technology and italicize.

If the punctuation is part of the quote or sets it off from the rest of the sentence, put it inside.  If the punctuation is not part of the quote and would make the quote confusing, put it outside.  For example, Did Mom yell "Get back here!"?  The question mark is not part of the quote.  Therefore, it needs to go outside the quotation marks.  Usually, punctuation will go inside.  It is rare that it goes inside; but it will happen, so be careful.

No matter how you format it (I defer to the others on format--college was some time ago for me), definitely put your name on the page itself (say, in a header or footer). Imagine if, during the process of evaluation, when papers are all over the admission counselors' desks, that your single page gets mixed up in the shuffle--how will they know that piece of writing belongs to you?!

You have written the name of something followed by a question mark. \n\nIt is meaningless.\n\nWhat are your trying to find out?

First, there is a check spelling tab you might want to use it next time.There is a line song writers use it all the time 'if you love someone let them go, if they are truly yours they'll come back to you' he don't belong to you get your own.lol

Yes, I would consider your example correct, unless the quote really did require an exclamation point, which it might from the tone.  I think you will find, however, that the rules are changing.  I was always taught that punctuation goes inside the quote marks (the way you did it).  But I have been working as a legal secretary for many a long year, and it's surprising how many well-educated lawyers INSIST on putting it outside the quote marks.  The argument, which makes a certain amount of sense, is that only punctuation which would have been a part of the original sentence which was quoted when it was first written should be inside, and that punctuation which is there because there is more to the sentence which includes the quote should go outside.  Of course, there is a subtle distinction from quoting an actual person and writing conversation in a fiction story.  I'm willing to bet most editors these days would accept either way.\n\nThe other thing I learned back (way, way back!) when I was young is that whenever a second person starts to speak, you start a new paragraph.  I think the idea is to help the reader figure out who is speaking without having to say "he said" or "she said" all the time.  However, I note that many books do not do that if they are describing a rapid-fire exchange of just a few words by two or more characters, because it would result in a lot of very short paragraphs, one line or maybe even just one word.  People no longer expect it.  I suppose they are willing to sort out who said what from context, which is usually but not always possible.

If you mean when you use it, the answer is you usually write an asterisk next to a word you want to make a remark about. And then you write that remark as a footnote, at the end of the page.\n\nIf you mean to know what an asterisk is, the previous posters got it all right.

Very nice; you must have picked up on the hidden clue.\n\nFrankly, it all depends.  I personally am not very found of grammatical rules, as they seem to be inherently limiting.  As far as I am concerned, you can throw the majority of those rules out the window, as long as you can express yourself clearly and be easily understood.   Case in point: Linguists and English professors do NOT usually make great writers, do they?   In principle, of course, one can always make a strong formal English punctuation argument in favor of your choice "b".  But to me "a" looks much "prettier".   So the question is: Should we keep shoving food into our mouths, mindlessly chewing, and promptly swallowing till our stomachs are full, or should we try to eat less, but eat with our eyes and palates too?   I suppose, it all depends on the circumstances and your point of view.   For instance, if you end up in a hospital with a sever case of malnutrition and dehydration, they “ain’t” “gonna” care much about how you are gonna eat or drink, as long as they end up pumping enough liquids and nutrients into you to save your life.   ... The punctuation waters start getting even murkier as more and more people begin to impose their own rules and restrictions on-line.   Ironically-enough (notice I said Ironically-enough and NOT anomalously-enough LOL) take your own example in this here on-line Y!A milieu, for instance.    The Y!A software will automatically add a question mark (i.e. a "?") to the end of every statement posted, no matter what you do, and be it really a question or NOT!  (And still, they dare to complain that some of those questions aren’t exactly questions)!  LOL    Hence, in a Y!A environment at least, both your choices would be forced into a punctually incorrect stratosphere (for "a" would become "lovelorn"??, and "b" would be transformed into "lovelorn?"?) and the only correct choice would appear to be “the initially incorrect one”, namely just “lovelorn”.  … Now, go figure!   LOL     … Yes my friend, even the oracle should strive for anomalism, at times.  :-)

It has nothing to do with the format- you shouldn't introduce new information into your paper in the conclusion. If it is a quote to back up your concluding point, then yea, it's ok to put it there as long as you document it correctly- the conclusion is still part of the paper.
