I am to create a symbolic mask for the character Ralph. There must be a reason behind the images and materials used for the mask, which should illustrate symbolism from Lord of the Flies that is associated with this character. Help!

If one were to create a symbolic mask to represent Ralph's character in the novel Lord of the Flies, one could begin by forming the mask into the shape of a conch. Throughout the novel, the conch shell symbolizes civilization, order, and structure. Ralph is connected to the conch shell and uses it to call assemblies, where he addresses the group of boys. Ralph is also civil and attempts to establish an organized, accommodating society on the uninhabited island. Towards the top of the mask, one could paint the image of a large signal fire. In the novel, Ralph continuously addresses the need to maintain a signal fire on the top of the mountain. Ralph hopes that passing ships will see the signal fire and rescue the boys from the deserted island. In addition to the image of a signal fire towards the top of the mask, one could paint the image of a severed pig's head on a stick in the background of the mask, as if it is in the distance and hard to identify. The hidden Lord of the Flies imagine could symbolically represent Ralph's inherent, primitive nature. Golding depicts Ralph's savage nature at various points throughout the story, specifically when Ralph participates in Simon's bloody murder.
