- In the last line, what did the writer mean by suggesting that "he may have found more porcupines than rats"?
What the writer meant was that Singapore have more citizens that would stand up for their own rights, like a porcupine than to run away from any danger it faces, like a rat. It also means that Singaporeans are much more braver than they usually are in order to defend their country.
- What's worth giving up your life for?
The things that are worth giving my life for are my loved ones; my family, my friends and my country. It would be worth it to sacrifice my life in order to protect my loved ones. I also put myself second to my loved ones because I don't want them to be hurt. I will have no regrets if I sacrifice myself for their sake.
