Frank Sinatra

In my personal opinion, I think George Clooney is equivalent to Frank Sinatra in todays world. Take into consideration, I had to look up who Frank Sinatra was on wikipedia to gather information about him to make a assumption of who might be equivalent, and what his answers may include.
So if I was to interview George Clooney, I would assume this might be what it would be like...
Me: Good afternoon Mr. Clooney, how are you doing on this wonderful day? Enjoying the weather I would assume?
Clooney: Yes, this time of year is my favorite actually, all the ladies start to wear less and less clothes!
Me: I've noticed your history with all the ladies, Do you ever think you'll marry ? Or settle down?
Clooney: Well, I'd like to keep doing Ocean movies, just like Frank Sinatra! 
Me: Oh really, do you relate yourself to him at all?
Clooney: Well he stared in the original Oceans Eleven, and I stared in the remake of it so yes we have some things in common.

Erin,
1. Possessives: Even when you refer to days, such as "today's world."
2. Spelling: wikipedia, not wikapedia / you're means "you are"--use "your" when referring to possession /

3. Explanation: Detail, detail, detail! What more would Clooney say about the similarities between him and Sinatra? He says, "we have some things in common." Why not go for it there and start a riff on the things they have in common? Also, at the beginning when you say, "I think George Clooney is equivalent to Frank Sinatra in today's world" you need to elaborate and explain WHY. Remember, this is the point I most stress in class--say WHY! In fact, this piece cannot work without your explanation. It actually relies on your being able to articulate why they are similar.
