Ralph often used Piggy for wisdom and often looked to him for help in situations in which he didn't know what to do. With Piggy's death I think Ralph found that he had to figure it out for himself on what to do and realized how smart Piggy really was on taking names and how much he reallied on him. During the time when Piggy was alive Ralph realized that without Piggy he wouldn't be able to survive on the island and it was Piggy's knowledge that may have been keeping them alive and not becoming a savage; for Piggy often kept Ralph on track for having the priority be to keep the fire going so that they get rescued. When Ralph witness' his friends death I think that is when it really clicks to him that these savages aren't afraid to kill a person and will most likely do it again. Ralph has to gather himself and get himself rescued because he has nobody left to take care of him or look out for him. I think it's through Piggy's death that Ralph realizes how important being rescued really truly is if he wants to live. Yes he knew being rescued was important, but seeing someone being purposely murdered shows him that in order to live he has to leave the island. All of the order they had at all is completely gone at this point also and this also may give Ralph the strength to survive.
