A Comparison of Back Handsprings and Back Tucks Essay

Some people who arent arent educated about cheerleading or gymnastics, may think that back handsprings and back tucks have no real differences, but that is wrong. There are many differences and similarities between a back-handspring and a back tuck.First off, it is called a back handspring because of the use of your hands during the flip. For example, when I was first being taught how to do a backhand spring I didnt use my hands and ended up hitting my face against the mat, ending up with a nice quarter size rug burn on my forehead. So you start off in a position much like you would if you were going to sit down in a chair, knees bent at 90-degree angle.

Once your hands hit your ears you want to bring your head back with it being mindful not to whip you head back before your hands hit your ears. This is where the two become different, although your main goal is to flip backwards, in a back handspring you want to arch your back like a rainbow, having your hands be the first to hit the mat. Once your hands hit the mat, you want to snap up having your hands above your head to complete the flip. On to back tucks. With back tucks you altimently have the same goal, to flip over, but there are a few changes you need to make before flipping over. Fist you start off much like you would with a back handspring, sitting position with arms out in front of...

A Comparison Between Mel Gibson's Directed Hamlet and Kenneth Branagh's Directed Hamlet Essay

Comparative Essay Shaping Hamlet on the Silver ScreenTwo popular film renditions of Shakespeare s great tragedy Hamlet present us with two very different interpretations of the title role. In the first act of each we come to know Franco Zeffirelli s Hamlet, played by Mel Gibson, as authentic, believable, never exaggerated and not altogether puzzling in stark contrast, Kenneth Branagh directs and plays a Hamlet who is fantastic, larger than life, intensely tortured, and enigmatic. Arguably Zeffirelli s interpretation, taken on a purely literal level, is more true to the playwright s intent (regardless of its fairly free rearranging and cutting of lines and passages) yet for that his Hamlet is somewhat lacking in the complexity of character so central to the drama. Branagh s Hamlet, although initially less plausible, ultimately draws us in toward the real themes of the play in a much more convincing and satisfying way.The first and most immediately obvious contrast between the two films ...
