I chose to do Simon because I had a pretty good idea for what to do for the mask for him. Simon doesn't really like to stand out and keeps to himself and a couple years ago I just wanted to keep to myself and stayed alone like he does. If I wouldn't have done this for my mask I would have chose Jack and drawn the mask evil because Jack isn't a good kid and he is evil. I didn't choose Jack and instead chose Simon because I thought that I had a pretty good idea for Simons mask and I wouldn't have really known how to draw evil things for Jack.

I made camouflage for the whole mask meaning that Simon likes to blend in and camouflage helps you blend in. I also drew a chameleon because chameleons blend in with their surroundings and i thought that

As I read, Paul L. Dunbar’s “We Wear the Mask” I was interested in how he described what a mask represents. It is true that a mask was used to hide a person’s pain, emotion, or mood before the day known as Halloween developed.

People can never truly speak their truth or let out their suffering.

He retrieved Piggy’s glasses after they were knocked off his face post a punch in the face by Jack, and, like Christ, he was good with kids, helping the younger littluns pick fruit, finding “for them fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands” (Golding 56). Simon was also very wise and insightful, and maybe even slightly prophetic. When he was dehydrated and hallucinating, he imagined the

As the former President of the Student Council of Middle School, and the member of the leading charity group internationally (Les Roses Blanche of the Inner Wheel), and the eldest sister responsible for my younger siblings, I found it suitable to use a lion, not only to represent strength, but to represent leadership.

Most of the masks represent an individual idealized by the Baule standards of beauty; a broad forehead, long nose, pronounced eye sockets, introspective, and peace. The portrait mask not only indicated beauty, but also refinement and desire to please others.
