For me, I saw the ordinary world as Gregor's room. It's where he is comfortable. The minute he enters the outside world of the rest of his families apartment, he is uncomfortable and put it situations he would rather not be in. The Call to Adventure would be when his family is asking him to open the door. It is also when the manager is threatening him, that it what really goads Gregor into action.
2. Are there any social issues being critiqued in the story? How does "The Red Scare" relate to Kafka's work?
I'm not really sure if you can say that there are any issues being critiqued at this point in the story. Certainly there are some further down the way. Gregor being singled out, and transformed into a bug obviously puts him under suspicion just as the people who were singled out by Senator McCarthy. Gregor is also an ordinary man, who is now under attack.
3. What does Gregor turn into in the story?
He turns into a giant bug.
