My story “Apologies All Around” by Jeff Soesbe, is about a robot who forces people to apologize to someone they hurt emotionally or physically. That is why I think the theme of the story is to always apologize even if it is hard to do or if something small you did. One thing that shows the theme of the story is when Karl said his apology for not getting Winston the job he wanted because Karl spread a rumor around the work saying Winston was impossible to work with because Karl was older and “Winston was younger and more of a hot shot,” said Karl then him so Karl spread the rumor so he could get the job and not Winston. Then once Winston read it he was mad at first but then he forgave Karl. This shows if you say an apology and say it sincerely
