Observations Since the time of my interaction I have made more observations about the speech community involved. My first observation that I found was that gourmet Polish deli produced a YouTube video. The deli is called Piast Meats and Provisions Inc. and is located in northern New Jersey. Piast Meats and Provisions Inc. created a video titled Polish Culture and it took place at a Polish heritage festival in Holmdel, New Jersey. The video asked individuals at the festival “What do you like most

Even five years after the Holocaust, there were still survivors with nowhere to go.19 Few survivors attempted to return home, and most of those who did stayed only a short time. They learned it was nearly impossible for them to be in places so closely linked to their childhoods.20 Everything in their cities, towns and villages would remind them of years of humiliation of unthinkable atrocities, of tragedy and irreparable loss.21 Those few survivors that did decide to return to their home towns did

powerless we are to the patterns of history unless we actively work to prevent them. This is not to say Polish culture possesses the mentality of a cult in any way, but the message still carries weight.

Being a child of Polish descent is a blessing and a curse for many unique reasons. Sure we listen to some pretty great music, eat some pretty good food and throw some pretty fun parties, but there’s more than sausage and pierogi to surviving life as a Pole. The truth is there have been many occasions where quitting has seemed like the only option left on the table but in the end, there is no escaping the special life of a Polish person.

totem poles? Totem poles are monuments created by First Nations of the Pacific Northwest to represent and commemorate ancestry, histories, people, or events. Totem poles are typically created out of red cedar, a malleable wood relatively abundant in the Pacific Northwest, and would be erected to be visible within a community.

In the grandiose pole, the self needs “people who will reflect and identify its unique capacities, talents, and characteristics” (Berzoff et al., 2011, p.169). According to the description of the grandiose self, the client has not met this pole. Within this pole the self wants to be capable of feeling “special and full of well-being” (Berzoff et al., 2011 p. 169).
