Help...

Ok...so I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem. I can't create more than one paragraph in my blog. I have noticed this problem before, but since it didn't seem to matter too much, I just let it go. Now we have our Kite Runner Essay due (See Below) and I can't get any differentiation between paragraphs. The "....." is a lame attempt at distinguishing the paragraphs. Do you actually need to write in HTML to drop down a line? I can't imagine so...anyone got some info on this?
