your meta tag and title tag needs to be in between your head tag with a closing tag. then you need a your opening body tag needs to be after that. with your style tag.

<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
<!--HEAD CLOSING GOES HERE-->
<!--BODY OPENING TAG GOES HERE-->
    <style>
        h1 {text-align:left; color:green}
    </style>
  </body>

You're almost there! You have an opening <head> but no closing tag. You also have a closing </body> but no opening tag. Remember that the body tags shouldn't be placed within the head tags. Working example below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
        h1 {text-align:left; color:green}
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <!-- The content of a webpage should go here. -->
</body>

</html>

Let me know if this helps! Please mark the answer as correct if it does :)
