Answer:
We have always had stories. They were first told orally as fairy tales, folklore, and epic poems, and were eventually written down. And for as long as we have had stories, we’ve had literature. Stories are usually considered literature when they have long-lasting artistic or social value. Epic poems like The Odyssey or novels like To Kill a Mockingbird are considered literature because they have deeper meanings that go beyond the story. Both stories are meant to do more than just amuse the reader. A pop novel, like a James Patterson book you can buy at the airport, would not traditionally be considered literature because it is not meant to do much more than entertain the reader.
As we’ve transitioned from hearing stories to reading them, our ideas have changed about what kinds of stories have merit. We have always made a point to pass on the stories we value to next generation, regardless of their form. Therefore, it should not be so outrageous to declare that a new form of literature has been forged and needs to be passed on: television shows.
Television shows can be as complex as novels and can provide students with opportunities to learn that novels do not. Yet, there are legitimate concerns about using classroom time to dissect1 television. One issue is that complex television shows tend to have adult or graphic themes not suitable for the classroom. Another concern involves how much time students spend on television. Plenty of students already watch and discuss television in their own time, so is television needed in the classroom, too? Finally, the written word teaches cognitive2 skills that television cannot.
As a movie buff, I often feel the need to let others know about my favorite films. Therefore, here is the list of my top five, in no particular order.

The problem with this sentence is that there is no subject-verb agreement.
<h3>What is subject-verb agreement?</h3>
The subject-verb agreement implies the verb should agree with the subject on the number (singular vs plural). Here are some examples.
- The girls are brave (both the subject and theverb are plural).
- The girl is brave (both the subject and the verb are singular).
<h3>What is the problem in the sentence presented?</h3>
The sentence about whales does not show the subject-verb agreement. This is because in the section there is approximately 2,200 blue whales the author is using a singular verb is to refer to a plural subject 2,200 blue whales.
