The quote from Black Boy confused me at first, but after careful rumination, I understood the quote to convey the extreme poverty that the narrator has to live through. The quote effectively uses references (such as snakes, nuns, horse tail) to paint the picture of destitution.

The quote from Back to the Future is classic. Lorraine's innocent observation reflects the absurdity of designer clothing whose value relies exclusively on the designer's name.

I like the connection between your #4 and #6. Obviously, you took a break from your day.
