Here is full instruction for whole 2 pages essay
In the wake of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt looked back over the “first 100 days” of his administration to assess the progress of his economic recovery plan, the New Deal. Ever since, the ‘first hundred days’ has become a significant benchmark by which we judge the success of a new presidential administration.
“All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days . . .nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.”
― John F. Kennedy
“We’ll press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and significant possibility.”
– Joe Biden
