Miguel's Monologue
Miguel: I awoke with a start because Papa was shaking me and shouting, "FIRE, FIRE! GET UP, GET UP!" My first
thought was of Esperanza, choking on thick smoke, alone and afraid in her bedroom. I followed my parents
outside, and my heart lurched as I saw that it was indeed her house aglow with fire. As we raced into the
courtyard, the air was thick with smoke and we could see flames licking at all of the windows on the first floor.
The horses had caught the scent of smoke on the wind and were screaming with fear.

What is the gist of the first paragraph of Miguel's Monologue above?

Miguel was forcefully woken up by Papa's voice saying "FIRE, FIRE! GET UP, GET UP!" The first thing he worried about was Esperanza; and if she was okay in the fire. The house was burning down with big puffs of thick smoke and roaring flames.

I hope this helped! :))
