Ralph longed for several things, mostly concerned with personal hygiene. Most of all he wanted to cut his hair, short, right back to half an inch. He also wanted a bath, to wallow in soapy water and to clean his teeth. Ralph wanted clean clothes and a comfortable bed top sleep in. All of these things though were simply symptoms of an underlying need. What Ralph really wanted was to be rescued and to go home.

Jack attacked Piggy rather than Ralph because he knew Piggy wouldn't fight back. If he had attacked Ralph there was a good chance that Ralph would have beaten him and Jack couldn't take the risk of losing face in front of his own hunters.
In William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies," it is Jack's group of savages who accompany him to steal fire from Ralph's camp. They violently attack Ralph and the other boys to steal the fire and assert their control over the island.
Ralph sits on a fallen tree trunk during the meeting in "Lord of the Flies." This position symbolizes his leadership role as the boys' chief, providing a sense of authority and organization in the chaotic situation on the island.
To quote directly about Ralph from the book... Lying there in the darkness, he knew he was an outcast. "'Cos I had some sense." As he later said to Samneric, "What have I done? I liked him-- and wanted us to be rescued--" And "But I've done nothing... I only wanted to keep up a fire!"
During the confrontation in "Lord of the Flies," Samneric betray Ralph's trust and align themselves with Jack's tribe. They give away Ralph's hiding place to the other boys, leading to Ralph being hunted like prey. Ultimately, Samneric are forced to participate in the hunt for Ralph against their will.
All the boys except the choir. It doesn't specify exactly how many.
There is no attack by Jack's tribe on Ralph and his followers. Jack led a night-time raiding party, comprising of himself, Roger and Maurice, to steal Piggy's glasses in chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses.
Jack runs for leader against Ralph during the first meeting in "Lord of the Flies." Jack represents a more savage and authoritarian leadership style, while Ralph emphasizes order and civilization.
Actually, Ralph is referring to whomever the British are fighting during this time. Remember that the novel is set in the future during an atomic war.
Jack, Roger and Maurice raid the shelters on the beach during the night. In the darkness there is a fight but from the descriptions given by Ralph and Eric it appears they were actually fighting each other. Meanwhile Jack and his accomplices achieved their aim and left in possession of Piggy's glasses.
