•Why is the Land of the Dead amazingly
beautiful?
-Many cultures believe that the afterlife is a
beautiful place, often referred to as the "land
of the dead" or "paradise," and that this belief
is intended to provide comfort and hope to
those who have lost loved ones or who are
facing their own mortality. Furthermore, the
prospect of a beautiful afterlife can serve as a
motivator for people to live good lives in the
present in the hope of a better afterlife.
However, the land of the dead is not a real or
proven location; rather, it is a concept that
varies depending on the people's culture,

Miguel to play his music because he does not
want to be remembered negatively. He wants
to be remembered for being a good person,
not just a good musician.
