A poem which evokes a strong emotional response is Carol Ann Duffy's “Shooting Stars”. Featuring a persona, it portrays the horrific events which took place during the Holocaust and the emotional impact that they have had on the victims.”Shooting Stars” focuses on the persona's personal account of living in a concentration camp, where she is assaulted mentally, physically and sexually. All of these factors, invluiding the setting of the Holocaust during World War 2 help to establish a negative emotional response such as guilt or depression. To emphasise such responses, Duffy makes use of a plethora of literarary devices ranging from enjambment of lines to short, punchy sentences.
