Further to the advice that Julius Dittmar and Karl Berry have given
you, I would suggest that you might get some mileage from the "float"
package.  This package allows you to say (e.g.):

\begin{figure}[H]
...
\end{figure}

where the upper case "H" indicates that the figure (in general the
float) should be placed exactly at the point in the text where the
"\begin{figure}" occurs.

One usually has then to fiddle a bit with just where one puts the
"\begin{figure}" in order to get things looking right.

Often it is better and less hassle just to leave things to LaTeX and
accept its decisions about where to place floats.  But not (quite)
always.

cheers,
