Hi Ami. The correct answer is name.title

where name is the class instance: name = Name.new("Ami")

If you review your code you should delete the "name" parameter from the initialize method.It has no point there. This is how your method should look: def initialize (title) @title=title end

So if you have this code: puts name.title it should print to the screen: Ami Maybe it makes more sense now.
