    I chose to review a website dedicateed to the novel "The Tale of Genji". The site contains five sections related to the story. it includes a short summary of the story. A biography of Murasaki Shikibu, a short description of the main characters, and a section explaining the cultural significance of the story. This site is a great way to study the book without having to read the entire story. The summary and cultural significance are short and written at a level middle school students can understand. This is a great starting point for further research into the story, the author, or the Heian Period in Japan. The one downside to this site is their are not many visuals.

    I have found a site that contains many visuals related to the story. it contains Japanese Artwork (not sure what type, maybe someone could help me with that) for each chapter to The Tale of Genji. This site is a good resource to supplement the site i mentioned earlier.
