You are confusing variables and methods. A method has parentheses after its name to take in arguments like this method(var1, var2).

In this assignment, on the other hand, you are asked to create a variable. You do that be specifying the datatype followed by the variable name (you can also assign a value to that variable at the same time, but you are not required to in this task). Finally you end the sentence with a semi-colon (;) Hope this helps!

public class PictureBook { 
     public String mTitle;
}
