Describe the transformation after Jack paints his face in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

In chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair Jack paints his face with red and white clay and adds some black charcoal lines. He looks at his own reflection in a coconut shell filled with water and, I quote... 'He looked in astonishment, no longer at himself but at an awesome stranger. He spilt the water and leapt to his feet, laughing excitedly. Beside the mere, his sinewy body held up a mask that drew their eyes and appalled them. He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling. He capered towards Bill and the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness. The red and white and black, swung through the air and jigged towards Bill. Bill started up laughing; then suddenly he fell silent and blundered away through the bushes.
