¶ … Shoemakers' Holiday" by Thomas Dekker. Specifically, it will identify the functions or roles of Sir Hugh Lacy the Earl of Lincoln, and the King of England in the play, and look at the purpose or intention of each of these characters.

Sir Hugh Lacy is the Earl of Lincoln, and is a snobbish and pompous, a true Elizabethan gentleman who looks down his nose at the "common" workers of London. Sir Lacy's purpose in the play is to both illustrate the snobbery of the upper classes in England at the time, and to show that while these classes enjoyed money and prestige, they were often bitter and unhappy. They were so puffed up with themselves and their position, that they could not truly enjoy life, or enjoy the simplicity of an honest day's work. He is...
Lincoln personifies English society at the time, which was on the brink of the Industrial Revolution, which would change the trades forever.

Knowing that students in minority and low socio-economic groups have in the past traditionally scored lower on state adopted achievement tests, most school districts allot extra time and resources to improve their test scores. Furthermore, variation in teacher competencies from facility to facility and even year to year may also compromise accurate assessment of the effectiveness of the interventions in this area.
