    Reference to key scenes is more important than quotation.

    Try violence/conflict, the role of religion, the role of money (poverty/wealth), or political background. Gender roles might be a bit broader than the role of women, especially in Billy Eliot.

    Yup.. Open by saying the three texts I have studied are... the cultural context of a text affects the... (whatever the question is) and then just say what aspects of cultural context you are going to discuss.. ;)
