Treehouse TeacherJoe Thompson You're doing great. However, what you've done here is create a method. Which is way above and beyond what they want you to do 
public class PictureBook {
public String mTitle;
}
This is a variable that's a member of the class PictureBook. What you wrote was a method called mTitle. Hope this helps!
