Justin, I was an English major who made A's with exactly the
kind of term papers you're talking about.  Then I switched
majors and suddenly found that I had to back up what I said
with evidence.  Maybe that's not true with all English depts.
(since my Eng study was elsewhere) but it certainly typifies
my experience.

Point being, two votes against you, my vote for you.
