What reason does Ralph give for the boys' defection to Jack?
In chapter 9, Ralph said: '"And for hunting," said Ralph, wisely, "and for pretending to be a tribe, and putting on war-paint."' (Golding, pg.163). Jack lures the boys in to his control by offering them meat from his hunts, and excitement. Jack is a manipulative leader who can insert fear in the boys; while the boys are scared and overwhelmed by emotional instincts, Jack takes the opportunity to persuade the boys. He also uses effective traps by not telling the boys that he will not completely control them. Ralph, at this point, realizes the need for order and organization; he knows that they can no longer act like children. Although he wants civilization and order in the boys, he has difficulty communicating to the boys. Jack, on the other hand, can foresee the boys' fears and instincts, therefore being able to control and brainwash them.

What could Ralph have done differently in the lord of the flies?
Nothing and that is the point of the novel. All of the boys, Ralph included, eventually give in to their innate savagery through time as they gradually lose the influence of the old society of morals and regulations and descend into corruption and savagery innate in human nature without the restraint of society. Ralph did simply everything he could given the deteriorating situation, trying to implement law and civility into the boys but his efforts were lost in the frenzy of the innate savagery emerging from themselves. As we see towards the end of the novel, even Ralph forgets the importance and hope of the fire signal and participates in a hunt and is involved in the murder of Simon. They were helpless to themselves.

Why is Ralph considering giving up leadership?
Ralph called a meeting in chapter 5 with the intention of ending the discussion of the beast once and for all. Unfortunately his plan backfired and instead of persuading the boys that the beast wasn't real they ended up voting in favour of a belief in ghosts. The meeting descended into choas with most of the boys running onto the beach to perform a 'pig dance.' Totally disillusioned by the way the meeting had gone and the outcome of the vote Ralph wondered why he was even bothering to try and lead the boys, when they no longer behaved rationally and he seriously doubted how much control he even held over them.
