Desperate Pleas for Related Text for ET!! Urgent! (1 Viewer)

[paige_67]

Hi all, I'm currently doing Exploring Transitions and our prescribed is Billy Elliot.
We have an assignment due soon and our teacher needs us to have a related text by Monday.
Normally I don't have too much trouble finding a RT but I have no ideas what so ever, and everything I've found is either horrible (don't like it, doesn't make sense ect...) or I can't find a link to transition.
So I'm calling out a desperate plea for help from fellow students or teachers who may have any idea what so ever of any texts (however my teacher doesn't want our RT to be film) or some good links to websites that may help.
Please help me out!

Could you give me a rough idea of what billy elliot is about or what you want your related text to be roughly about?

Maybe check that site and check the list for anything you think would be good as a related for your topic.

Billy Elliot is set in the 80s in England during the 84 Miners Strike. It's about a young boy who loves to dance, but his father and his brother feel that if he does, everyone will think he is homosexual. He defies them all though and his main transition is from conformity to individual expression. Other transitions include childhood to adulthood, intolerance to acceptance, exploration of sexuality ect. It's very much a coming of age film.
