Bezier Curve Intro - Bowling Pin - Redone

I’ve posted three screenshots, two with normals, one without. I am unsure if the lines are supposed to look that way. I took one with the right orthographic to check if the lines are off, but I can’t determine what is, or isn’t, in place just by eyeballing it.
Edit:
I rotated the curve in object mode 90 degrees in the x-axis before applying it to the reference image. It should be showing up in the new images.

Those lines are normals and confuses a lot of people, so by default they are turned off.

Yours look good, no problems.

Ah no those normal lines are showing the curve is all set up wrong.
Effectively sideways on.

This is what it should look like.

Add the curve and make sure it is rotated flat to the reference. Only use orthographic view to ensure no control point movement goes in the depth direction.
