During the middle of the book Laurie was really kind and not as shy as before. He soon became good friends with Jo. At the end of the book Laurie was acting like a jerk. He sent Meg a fake love letter from Mr.Brooke asking for her hand in marriage. Laurie was kind enough to contact Marmee when Beth got sick, so he made up for how mean he was. He was just one character of many who have changed!
