How can i become a better writer? Can you suggest any books or lesson plans that would help?

I am not a horrible writer but i could be much better. I feel that my compare/contrast essays and analysis of literature essays are very weak. I am just not good at conveying my ideas effectively.

    I honestly thing the best ways to improve your own writing are to get lots of practice and lots of feedback. I'm assuming you're going to get more practice than you could ever want since you're in college. For the feedback, I think you should consider looking into something like getting a tutor, visiting your school's writing center, and/or setting up some sort of paper exchange with a good writer in one of your classes (approach your professor and ask for help with this -- they usually know who the good writers are and might be able to find a way to put you in touch with them).
