Becky and David are being conveyed as the two people in the group who had a well-off upbringing and are unique compared to everyone else. They also have problems with expressing themselves the correct way. Becky is from a wealthy part of the city and doesn't quite know how to communicate with people that aren't similar to her. In the passage, everyone profiled her as being "'different.' She is from Trenton, a largely white and wealthy suburb." and stated that "She's always had everything handed to her." Becky does not know how to strike up a genuine conversation with people she does not think she has anything in common with.
