Rails Console does not load the methods and classes of my application, why?

Navigation

I have a model named Person, when I open the Rails Console and try to assign it to any variable, I get this: 

user.localapp (test) $ rails c
Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.0) (Ruby 2.2.0)
localapp> a = person.first
NameError: undefined local variable or method 'person' for main:Object
from (irb):1

Does anyone know why?

Use Person (first letter uppercase) instead of person (first lowercase letter) 

a = Person.first

person is a variable that does not exist. You have to call the class method: 

person = Person.first

This will bring you the first Person of your database.

How do I get a div to scroll down automatically? Enlarge an image by clicking on it (HTML5 and CSS3)?
