According to what you are describing, the plot device used is the "in media res"
This technique In Media Res means " in the middle of things", and that is exactly how it works, in media res is to start a story in the middle of the story itself instead of its beginning, that is, start the story of the facts showing the characters already involved in the conflict that structures the story, using this technique allows a more dramatic beginning of narration: the story will begin with the protagonist already in trouble, and with this we will capture the interest of the reader from the first moment.

too much information in parentheses
This parenthetical citation has too much information in the parentheses.You actually do not need any parenthetical citation for this quote. There are a few reasons why. The first is that the author of the quote is stated in the quote's set up when it says "President John F. Kennedy said,". Also, this quote is well-known so it doesn't require a parenthetical citation since it has been quoted numerous times.
It should also be noted that Wikipedia is not a reliable source and should not be used as a source in a paper. One can easily find the full-text of Kennedy's inaugural address on another, more reliable site.
