I see you are liking Java code.
Alright, your error is on the readLineMethod() - the L in readLine() should be in Capital.
Please see this snippet.
//your code on line 14
String adjective = console.readline("Enter an adjective: ");
//try out this code instead, save and run the code
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
Please let us know how it goes. Tonnie
