Welcome to T.S.G alright this might be long, I can see that you are new to html and css, it's great to learn, but you seem to be confused about a few things you should take a look at
w3schools to learn html, now to the problem, there were a few issues with your internal CSS, these are highlighted below, anything in
red, should be removed, because it is incorrect or un-needed, anything in
green is what needs to be added or changed
keep in mind this is only for the head(mostly css)

now it maybe hard to see, but there is a period ( . ) before the name of the class, let explain what was wrong with the way you had it, in css, when defining a class you must start with a . or a # followed by the name of the class, the rest is correct, you also had an </body> inside your internal css... that was un-necessary... now what you need to do now(that your styles are defined correctly) is add the divs, and attach the appropriate style.

obviously, the placement of the <div class="..."> and </div> depends on where you want each div to start and end... and again the
green is what I added.
Hope this helps
