The references to historical details that I found in the story are about racial segregation laws, the Gandhi movement, and the protests that black people did to end segregation.

Doris's fictional experience is different from the real one of Nash and Lewis in the way that her protest was individual, she did not get arrested, she did not get her food served, and the white men never feared her. They saw her as something inferior that was not a threat to them during their stay in contrast with the large groups that made the stings. We can see this when the waitress tells her that she couldn't serve her. or when the white men looked at her and then ignored her. On the other hand, the group sitting at the restaurant was violently attacked by white men and arrested like it is described in lines 110-122 from The most daring of [our] leaders.

Explanation:

The texts describe the protests that young people did to end segregation. The protests did not involve violence but a lot of courage to reveal against the laws. One is a fictional story, but it relates to scenes that happened in the past, like the one in The most daring of our leaders, where the protests did not always end well but showed all the preparation and education behind every sitting and increasing awareness they raised.

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
