1. Kuper's opening differs from Kafka's in that it is more visual, with images of Gregor's room and his transformation into a bug. Kuper uses visual elements to show the transformation, as well as to create a sense of confusion and disorientation, which mimics waking up, as Gregor does.
2. Gregor's reaction on page 108 is one of shock and disbelief, as he stares at his reflection in the mirror. This is different from his reaction in the beginning of the novella, where he is more resigned to his transformation.
3. Kuper does an effective job of depicting Gregor's room as "a proper human room" that "lays peacefully between its four familiar walls". The image shows a room with a bed, a dresser, and a mirror, all of which are familiar elements of a human room. The room does create a peaceful tone, as it is depicted in a calm, muted color palette.
4. Gregor's thought in the thought balloon at the top of the page reveals his inner struggle with his transformation. He is trying to come to terms with his new form and is questioning his identity. This shows that Gregor deals with difficult issues in his life by trying to understand them and come to terms with them.
5. Kuper uses different fonts and sizes to differentiate between the narrative description and what he attributes to Gregor.
