My prescribed text is "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, it's a play which dramatises the Salem witch trials. It's about an orphan girl who has a low status in society so accuses others of witchcraft to gain power, in this hysteria Salem becomes a place of exclusion and accusation.

Can anyone recommend some related texts? I'd prefer short stories and poetry.

This one's not too bad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pigeon

Like The Crucible, it contains:
Identity crisis; an invading character that interrupts the natural harmony, looks at the impact of others opinions, flawed leading character.

Worth a look at anyway.

What about the first season of Gossip Girl? Like how Jenny does shit stuff to others so she can become the next Blair.

You could probably make it work. Though is it a deep enough text?

I can't help you with specifics, I don't really watch the show.

I'm using 'Let me in'

Not sure if it's deep enough but I have analysed it and related to my prescribed text Romulus my father. I got 10/15 for the essay but because the integration was bad.

I'm not sure what other 2 texts I should choose
