On Nicaragua
Please keep in mind that you need to blog insightfully. Avoid summarizing as I have also read the book. Saying what you liked is not enough, you need to reflect on what you are reading.

Facundo -extended due deadline: Sunday
From Wikipedia:
As Kimberly Ball observes, "civilization is identified with northern Europe, North America, cities, Unitarians, Paz, and Rivadavia", while "barbarism is identified with Latin America, Spain, Asia, the Middle East, the countryside, Federalists, Facundo, and Rosas."
And Sarmiento believed that those gauchos were mere parasites.
That's a start. The floor is yours.
