Most of the boys have joined Jack's tribe leaving only Piggy and the twins, Samneric, remaining loyal to Ralph.
At the beginning of chapter seven, Ralph feels dirty. He wants to cut his hair and fingernails, wash his clothes, brush his teeth, and get a bath. This shows that he still has some decorum left, unlike most of the other boys. However, with the other boys being dirty as well, he realizes that these conditions are normal now, and he does not mind.

The first thing that the boys decide to do, after Jack has left, is to follow Piggy's suggestion to light a fire near to the shelters since the presence of the 'beast' is preventing them from relighting the fire on the mountain top.
In chapter 8 of "Lord of the Flies," the boys left in the group are Ralph, Piggy, Samneric (Sam and Eric), and a few other littluns. Jack and his hunters have separated from the main group and formed their own tribe. Simon is also still part of the group at this point, but he is becoming increasingly isolated.
The two boys who left Ralph's group and joined Jack's tribe were Sam and Eric, often referred to as Samneric in the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. They were previously loyal to Ralph but succumbed to Jack's persuasion and fear tactics.
Chapter two establishes that the boys are alone on a previously uninhabited island with no adults. The first signs of Ralph and Jack's differing objectives are revealed and the subject of the "snake-thing/beastie" is raised for the first time by a small boy with a mulberry-coloured birthmark. Ralph tells the boys that they should build a signal fire to attract passing ships and airplanes so that they can be rescued. Jack, who initially seemed only interested in hunting pigs, then leads the boys off to the mountain, already subtley challenging Ralph's leadership. At the end of chapter two the intended signal fire becomes an out of control inferno and the boy with the mulberry-coloured birthmark is never seen again. These events perhaps foreshadow the burning of the island in chapter 12 and the deaths of Simon and Piggy.

At the end of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, there were three boys left: Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric. Jack's tribe had captured Samneric, leaving only Ralph and Piggy as independent characters. Piggy is later killed by Roger, leaving only Ralph as the sole survivor of the original group of boys on the island.
At the beginning of the novel, Ralph is optimistic and has a sense of order and responsibility as he is excited about being on the island and leading the group of boys. By the end of chapter 6, Ralph starts to feel the weight of leadership and the challenges of maintaining order as conflicts arise among the boys. He becomes more frustrated and realizes the seriousness of their situation as they struggle to maintain a signal fire and overcome their differences.
He left behind about $900,000.
After Piggy dies, Ralph is left alone and desperately tries to evade the other boys who are hunting him down. He eventually stumbles upon a British naval officer who rescues him and the other boys from the island. Ralph breaks down in tears, realizing the horror of their situation and his own role in it.
