Anachronism is derived from the Greek word anachronous, which means “against time.” Therefore, an anachronism is an error of chronology or timeline in a literary piece.
P127: “tree hugger”, “renewable crop”, “What a fox”,
P128: “Dr. Ruth” (reference to Dr. Ruth Siegal Westeimer)
(The editors wanted me to change Dr. Ruth’s name because of implied references. I kept it.)
