Please help me refine and revise my rough draft to be the final draft as right now my rough draft got only a 6/10. I really need a higher grade for my final draft. My teacher gave me a ton of advice which I will add in the annotated version attached and also other advice she gave at the bottom of this.
It’s very important it connects to the book always and she mentioned how my perspective part is repetitive and I should only reiterate Calvino if necessary and have differing views.
Please let me know if you don’t have access to the book as it is important to understand the tales. Thank you so much

Paper #2 Final Draft: Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino
You will write an 8 – 10 page paper on Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino. Calvino played with the structure and symbolic imagery in tarot cards to create his narrative structure.

Other comments she had from office hours:
I have also added peer review comments:
Explain why interpreting that way and why its important to be used
Narrator is of great importance
60s – authority is rethought – author written this so authors voice and interpretation is most important thing so they start to rebel
Fact many voices present in the text – author didn’t intent – not that the voice doesn’t matter in the book – acknowledging that there are times the voice is muted or confused or misunderstood
Of all of the grids of cards but authors voice is missing
Death of the author in the 60s – we don’t care what the author meant we kept same reasons
Pick apart on thesis – more explicitly in the symbol – led you to interpret it in a certain way – more generic interpretations that – don’t compare with common interpretation – the fool of memories and visual analysis
calvino is playing around on the death of author – no authority something means in a text – yeah i’m looking at the card and think of it in a different way but is assuming it’s different – could agree with him – tell me why
fluidity of identity and destiny – transformation instead?
by comparing it to my own interpretation and reflecting – main thing i’m doing is just the first part to highlight the idea
my own visual analysis – reflect on unpredictable of storytelling
analyzing calvino’s approach – more concise by only saying things that are not the same as calvino
Shapes – interpretation same as calvino – brief if its the same – repetitive
when its different can elaborate more – milky white sky – just see as white paper – deliberately going somewhere different – decentering – if author is weird calling sky color of milk – pointing at ridiculousness of authority of interpretation
