Book, movie, and other names/titles of works are capitalized. They are also underlined or printed in italics, if that option is available. In the second sentence, goddess is not capitalized. Pan, the name of the god, is. God is only capitalized if you are referring to the name of a god, as the Christian God. Other "gods" are not the name of the god, so the word is not capitalized. In the third sentence, you have a series of items from which Valentines are made. Each is separated by a comma when items are listed in series. "...paper doilies, red construction paper, bright foils, and..." "Won't you be my Valentine" is a quotation and must be in quotation marks, set off by a comma after "say". In the last sentence, "as a romantic festival" is a prepositional phrase modifying the verb "is celebrated" and is not set off by a comma.
