Q1) In the last line, what did the writer mean by suggesting that "he may have found more porcupines than rat?"

Q2) What's worth giving up your life for?

Answers:

Q1) The writer meant that more brave people are willing to help. There is less people who are unwilling to help in whatever way. The writer also means that Singaporeans will fight no matter how scared they are then being selfish in not helping to save the country. 

Q2) To me, giving up my life in saving my most important people. Including family and friends. We, Singaporeans should play a part in saving the country. Saving the country does not rely only on mens but everyone has a part to play. It is worth giving up your life in order to save the country.
