Hi John!

The task is to target DOM elements and assign them to the respective variables. In this case/instance, you can ignore the event listener function. The directions don't ask you to do anything with it. It doesn't really need to be there.

This passes both:

var button = document.getElementById('sayPhrase');
var input = document.getElementById('phraseText'); 

button.addEventListener('click', () => {
  alert(input.value);
});
