Answer:

Paragraph below. (please do take inspiration, not take it full on.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout the poem, Soto mentions how money is tight, but while sharing such information he begins it by acting confident in his spendings. Then, he begins to mention how he honestly dislikes spending money since, it's unfortunately tight. Throughout the poem, it begins to get sadder. The author loses the very same confidence he held onto. Money becomes a chore for him, and not a privilege. He begins to sound very inexperienced, which is ironic since Soto is trying to teach another person how the world works.

(hopefully that works for you! I am not fantastic at detecting things, but that is what I think the poem is about. :D)
