I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird, and there's this question on this worksheet that says, "Discuss the character of Atticus Finch. Does he seem like a true-to-life character? Support your answer with examples from the novel."
What does it mean when it asks if Attucus is a 'true-to-life' character? I don't understand the term, 'true-to-life.'

A "True-to-life" character is somebody who exhibits characteristics that are similar to an average person. They don't seem pretentious (pretend) or act strangely.

Try to ask your instructor about their "interpretation" of what exactly they want you to do, when they give you an assignment.
I "think" what is being asked, it that your instructor wants you to read the character's style in the story and determine whether they are qualified to being a character in real life and they want to to give examples and support on your answer.

Basically it means that a person behaves realistically, and has believable personality traits.
I hope you enjoy reading "To Kill a Mockingbird."

it means that you should explain how atticus portrays qualities that would be realistic in the "real world"
