    Throughout On Such a Full Sea, Chang-Rae Lee presents a futuristic American society which has settled itself into three different hierarchical levels. In the strictly structured routine which involves B-mors providing food and supply in return for security from the elite Charter class, the act of disrupting the system or even questioning it is very unlikely.
