Lee el siguiente párrafo y ayuda a Miguel a responder las preguntas.

Miguel has dreamed of becoming a musician since he was a child, even though his family has always banned music for a mysterious reason. For years, his grandmother has destroyed any instrument she has found in the house. Miguel doesn’t understand why, but his desire to play the guitar has grown stronger over time.

Before discovering the truth about his family, Miguel has believed that his great-great-grandfather was Ernesto de la Cruz, a famous musician. He watched all of Ernesto’s performances and had memorized his songs. However, when Miguel accidentally enters the Land of the Dead, he learns that everything he believed was a lie.

During his adventure, Miguel has met Héctor, who turns out to be his real great-great-grandfather. Héctor tells Miguel that before he died, he wrote many songs that Ernesto de la Cruz had stolen. This revelation changes everything Miguel has thought about his family and identity.

Thanks to this journey, Miguel has learned the value of memory, family, and truth.
