Ralph doesn't actually ever give up being chief but after the meeting in chapter 5: Beast from Water breaks up and he fears that the boys would ignore him if he blows the conch Ralph considers the possibility. He says, and I quote, "I ought to give up being chief. Hear 'em." Piggy is totally dismayed and gripping ralph's arm tells him that, "If Jack was chief he'd have all hunting and no fire. we'd be here till we died." Simon reinforced Piggys remarks by saying "Piggy's right, Ralph. there's you and Jack. Go on being chief."

Piggy was a lot more overweight than the over boys, that's where he got his name from 'piggy' he also wore glasses so the boys teased him about this... and took them off him and broke them so he could no longer see.

Piggy is an outsider and doesn't fit it. He is fat, he is the only boy who wears glasses, he has Asthma and talks like an adult.

It isn't hard for the boys to hear Piggy, the truth is that they just don't want to listen to him. The fire is exciting and Piggy isn't, he whines a lot about things that most of the other boys find totally boring. Piggy is considered to be an outsider, he doesn't fit in and the majority of the boys consider him a joke and unworthy of respect, so they just don't listen to him. Jack in particular dislikes Piggy and his usual response to anything that Piggy says is, "shut up!"
