It's been a while since I've read the book but I can help a little

1!. You are correct, the first two characters introduced are Ralph and then Piggy, in that order!.

2!. I believe what your looking for here is the Conch!. It is a shell that they discover and use by first blowing it to bring all the scattered boys together, and then they use it as a symbol of leadership and to call meetings!.

3!. Ralph is elected the leader!. I want to say this is simply because he is the one who found the Conch!. They do it by voting unless I'm mistaken!.

That's about all I can answer for you!. In number five when you say Piglet, do you mean Piggy!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
