How to display contents in a div side by side instead of on top of each other?

I was cleaning up my code a bit and decided to put my two paragraphs into two columns and float them to the left of my image. In cleaning up my code and trying to put my paragraphs into one div, my paragraphs ended up being underneath my image instead of to the right. Not sure if I did something wrong in my css.

/* body */
