How do you initialise a string while referring to the Dictionary?Am I close?

I do not know why this isn't working, I am guessing it has to do with the initWithString and calling the Dictionary

variable_assignment.mm 
NSMutableDictionary *carDict =
  [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Honda",@"Make",@"Accord",@"Model", nil];

NSString *myRide = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:carDict valueForKey:@"Make"];

NSMutableDictionary *carDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Honda",@"Make",@"Accord",@"Model", nil];

NSString *myRide = [[NSString alloc]init]; myRide = [carDict valueForKey: @"Make"];
