I am about to lose it with this challenge.....:( ..As far as I am able to see I am following my notes carefully, but I keep getting bummed on this challenge that asks me to: "Define the HTML tag for the document root"....Pardon my ignorance here but is there another way to write it than: <html><head><title>FAMOUS PEOPLE</title></head....? I have writtern it as many ways that I know how, and I keep getting bummed...I need help to move on to the next phase please....Thank you

the document root is the closing and opening HTML tag. all you need to write is 

<html></html>

that is the root of the html document. everything else goes inside that tag and branches from that
