You seem to have got confused by the term member variable in parentheses in the instructions.

Member variable is in parentheses here to let you know that it means the same as field (check the official documentation).

So it looks like you understood you had to create a method. You actually just need to declare a simple variable here, public, of type String, and named title. I hope this helps you complete the challenge :)
