Smollett for Dummies

Smollett is a word that refers to a person's last name. It is a name that belongs to someone, just like my last name is "Smith." Think of it as a special word that identifies and represents that person and their family. Similar to how you have your own name that distinguishes you from others, the word "Smollett" is a way to identify a certain individual and their relatives.

Now, let me tell you a story to help you understand it better. Imagine there is a group of friends, and each person in that group has their own last name, just like you and I do. And one of those friends in the group is named Lisa Smollett. When we say "Smollett," we are specifically talking about Lisa and her family members, like her parents, siblings, and maybe even grandparents if they have the same last name.

Another way to look at it is like a special code. People often have different first names, but their last names can be the same. So, "Smollett" is a way to recognize and distinguish a particular group of people who share that same last name. It helps us know who belongs to that family and who might not.

Now, let me ask you a question. Do you have any friends or classmates whose last name might be different from yours? Can you think of someone who has a unique last name, just like "Smollett?" Remember, last names are like special words that represent a group of people.
