denotation: a face paint was used as a camouflage as they hunt pigs and also to separate himself from Ralph's tribe!.

connotation: It is as if they're wearing a mask of anonymity!. Since they're stranded on an uninhabited island, there are no adults supervising them, which lets everyone be whoever they want!.
