The boys don't wear masks. Jack and his tribe paint their faces with red & white clay and add black marks with charcoal. The paint acts like a mask, helping to camouflage them when they hunt the pigs but more importantly freeing them from any responsibility for their actions. While wearing the paint the boys feel free to do anything they wish with no sense of guilt, remorse or restraint.

What offer does jack make on behalf of himself and the hunters?
he offers his tribe his protection from the beast om the jungle
What causes the hunters who had promised to keep the fire burning to neglect it and allow it to go out?
Jack wanted all the hunters to go with him to catch the pig because they needed enough people to make a circle around it
What mistake did Ralph make after being elected leader?
At the time Ralph thought that he was offering Jack the consolation of being put in charge of the former choir, which Jack then decided would become hunters. Later with the perspective of hindsight Ralph may well have regretted that decision.
What does Ralph do to make Jack feel better in Chapter 1?
When Ralph is elected to be chief he knows Jack is dissapointed (as Jack also wished to be chief) so he appoints Jack as leader of the choir and asks him what he wants them to be, to which Jack replies, "hunters."
What is jack response when Ralph first accuses him letting the fire go out?
Ralph interrupts and bitterly accuses them of irresponsibility for letting the fire burn out. The hunters, still in the grip of the thrill of the hunt, ignore him. Ralph once again tries to make them realize the enormity of their blunder. In quick and angry retaliation, Jack strikes out at Piggy, forcefully slapping his face and breaking one lens of his glasses
