Share your essay with the class.
The fable describes a group of porcupines gathered together to keep warm, eventually they found only when they keep the ideal distance, can they feel warm without hurting each other.
As a matter of fact, the fable teaches us that there should be boundaries in interpersonal relationships. One example of this from real life is that many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact with us for too long. The reason is that person has invaded(侵犯) your personal space. Most people have a certain distance they like to keep from others, the distance between you and your shield(防御) most likely varies from one person to another, depending on a variety of factors, including how well you know the person, your relationship to that person, how much you trust him or her, and your culture.
In conclusion, in order to put others at ease, it's important to set up the ideal boundaries in every healthy relationship.
