Conventions & MLA formatting

Spelling, Grammar, Mechanics, Style, Organization, etc. are all important. Watch especially subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, verb tense, and comma use. Be sure you are using the correct voice. This is a formal paper! No use of "I" or "You" is permitted! Margins, organization, spacing, font, title, heading, etc. all play a part in the MLA format of the paper.
