For a while Ralph lay in a covert until he was certain that he wasn't being pursued then he made his way to the fruits and had something to eat before walking to the shelters. Eventually he made his way back towards 'Jack's' end of the island until he reached the clearing close to Simon's 'secret place' where Jack had mounted the sow's head on a stick as an offering to the beast. Ralph had no knowledge that the head had been left there, as he wasn't a witness to it and nobody had told him. He was disturbed and disgusted by the pig's skull on the stick and punched it, until it fell to the ground and broke into two pieces then, ever practical, Ralph pulled the stick out of the ground to use as a weapon. He made his way back to the thicket close to Castle Rock.

Why do Piggy and the twins go and collect fruit in Lord of the Flies chapter 8?
Piggy and the twins collect armfuls of fruit in an attempt to cheer Ralph up and reassure him that they can manage by themselves. They did this because Ralph had become withdrawn and depressed when he realised how many of the group had deserted to join Jack's tribe.
How does Ralph feel the morning after Simon is killed?
Ralph is the only boy who truly recognises the significance of Simon's death. Piggy is ready to lay part of the blame on Simon himself and the dance, the Twins are in total self denial and Jack dismisses the entire episode as a 'trick' played by the beast. Ralph alone gives the deed its true name, murder, and Ralph alone seems to realises the depths to which they have sunk and the ferocity of their attack. Ralph too realises that having gone this far Jack and his tribe are now capable of almost anything.
How does Ralph get betrayed by samneric?
They get captured by Jack and his tribe when they go with Piggy and Ralph to receive Piggy's stolen glasses. They are forced to become a part of Jack's tribe and sell out Ralph when they are searching for him across the island. They didn't want to, but they appeared to finally turn on to Jack's side.
