I cannot solve the first object oriented code challenge

I entered this code but it will not compile, can someone help me?

structs.swift 
struct Book {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let price: Double
}
let myBook = Book(title:AnimalFarm, author:GeorgeOrwell, price: 6.00)

Strings (arbitrary text) has to be wrapped in quotes, if you don't wrap them in quotes Swift will think you are trying to reference a variable or something along those lines. Additionally challenges are pretty strict about how strings look, when they ask you to pass in something like "Animal Farm" for title it needs to look exactly like that, spacing and all.

If you fix those issues like this:

struct Book {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let price: Double
}
let myBook = Book(title: "Animal Farm", author: "George Orwell", price: 6.00)

Then your code will work.
