Explanation:

'The Brave Little Toaster' is a short story written by Cory Doctorow. The story is about human interaction with technology, that can speak.

In the story, the narrator interacts with his refrigerator, who ordered groceries worth 300 euros,  and LOONY GOONY, a drink. The narrator is trying to get rid of the drink can but it kept on promising energy to the narrator if he will open it up and drink it.

To this, the narrator repeatedly replies in paragraphs 8 and 14 that the drink is not energetic as it promises to be. The narrator repeats statements 'No you're not' in paragraphs 8 and 14.

The narrator is responding to LOONY GOONY who kept on singing it's promise of energy as labelled on the can 'ONE TRILLION  TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN ESPRESSOONE11!'

The theme which is suggestive through the narrator's interaction with technology in the story is that technology and progress have setbacks. At the beginning of the story, the narrator finds fresh groceries lying outside his house worth 300 euros, ordered by his fridge on the command of LOONY GOONY. It may sound amusing to think of speaking technology but if they become controlling over humans, then there surely be repercussions of it.
