	private Image harePic, tortoisePic;
	private final int HARE_TURN = 0;
	private final int TORT_TURN = 0;
	private int turn = 0;
	private int sleepTime = 200;
	
	public void init()
	{
		hare = new Hare();
		torties = new Tortoise();
		harePic = new Image("");
		tortoisePic = new Image("");
			
	}
	
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		g.drawImage(harePic,hare.getPosition(),40,this);
		
		g.drawImage(tortoisePic,tortoise.getPosition(),100,this);
		
		
	
	}
	
	public synchronized void HareAdvance()
	{
		while(turn == HARE_TURN)
		{
				try{
					wait();
		}catch(InterruptedException e )
		{}
			repaint();
		
		try
		{
			Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
		}catch(InterruptedException e )	
		{}
		
		turn = TORT_TURN -	turn;
	}
	
	
	public synchronized void  TortoiseAdvance()
	{
		
			while(turn != HARE_TURN )
			{
				try{
					wait();
				}catch(InterruptedException e )
				{}
			}

Because you forgot to close the HareAdvance method, Just add the curly barcket } to the end of that method
