Victoria Alvarez 1. [] This is a great website in which your problems about Shakespeare and his language will disappear. On this page you can fin some very interesting quotes, you will also find the modern text on the plays, and short summary’s. It has a section called Shakespeare for kids in which some plays are explained in order for a child from 8-12 years could understand it. It is a great website for any of his novels, but we are able to find King Lear and its translation to modern text and a very good explanation of the plots. I consider this a reliable source because I went over the information and it really helped me catch up with what I missed at school.

1. [] This is a very different website to many of the others I have seen. It has character analysis, summary’s about the entire play, you can download it and listen it on your ipod. There are some essays and study guides that can really give you and image of the play, and a character map. There is also a quiz in which you can take and see how you understand the play. I personally think it’s a very rich website about King Lear because of all the information mentioned above. I do consider it a reliable source because I went threw the information and everything made sense with what I was reading in class. BY: VICTORIA ALVAREZ ALEXANDRA WAGUI [] This is a reliable source because the novel __King Lear__ appears complete. All the acts and scenes appear in this website. This website also offers the whole novel of __King Lear__ to any reader interested. The website is reliable because I checked it with the book and everything is there. Even though it doesn’t have any character analysis it does have other tabs which gives you informaion on Willliam Shakespeare, and their is information on other important novels he wrote. it also helps you with information for important quotes and on the essay.This makes the website reliable and the context is from the book. [] In this website you can find all the acts and scenes of the book __King Lear.__ It is a great resource for anyone who wants to read the book because the complicated or difficult words hard to understand have a link with an explanation on how they are being used in the sentence. It is a reliable source because it has all the context of the book and extra information. That extra information gives the reads a better understanding of the novel. The resource is useful and reliable the context is complete.

ELENA CORRALES [] This is a great website there is a complete summary of the entire book. There is also connections with the modern world that are useful when you are doing an essay. And obviously there is a character analysis which is also useful when you don’t understand the story you see what the characters are like and then you can really understand their part in the book with the description of the characters. I believe that it is a reliable source because what I have already read in the book is the same as in the website. [] This second website is the best because it not only gives us information and summary of the book. It provides us with important facts about Shakespeare and the era called Elizabethan era. But it also gives us information about the book King Lear like its characters and much more. This I believe is a reliable source due to the fact that every character is correct and information about the book which I have already studied is in fact the same as this website.

This website is useful because it helps with the vocabulary of the book and it offers a bigger knowledge to the reader of it. It is a reliable source because aside from having the vocabulary it has other information not only about King Lear but on other Shakespeare novels. This website is useful because there are pictures and information about the structure of the buildings in which most of Shakespeare’s play take place in. It offers the reader a better image of where things are going on. It is reliable because even though it is not about King Lear it has a lot of information about the Elizabethan Era. DANIEL RIVERA

Rebecca Hirsch Resources: [|http://absoluteshakespeare.com/guides/king_lear/king_lear.htm] This source is focused not only on the novel King Lear but Shakespeare as a whole it talks about the main plots, quotes, characters and even offers a reliable summary of the novel. This page serves as a study guide and not only helps students study but understand King Lear. This is a reliable website due to the fact that it not only talks about King Lear but Shakespeare and offers true facts. [] This online source offers a short summary of the book King Lear.

This helps the reader understand everything that occurs in a more profound level and not only explains but analyzes as well. I believe this website could be classified as a reliable source due to its facts, vocabulary and knowledge about Shakespeare and his novels.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_technique this link has a lot of good general information. Though it is a wikipedia link, it is still a great way to gather a lot of general information and kind of, find an entry to what it is you really need to search. This will help people have a clearer understanding of all the lit terms used throughout all of King Lear

http://www.funtrivia.com/en/Literature/King-Lear-3728.html this link has all these random facts about the play as a whole.
