Sentence 2

My sentence: "Having invited me Finny now felt he had to keep me entertained." Gene said this on the way they were riding to the beach.
1) Wednesday, Oct 3rd, 2007
2) A Separate Peace
3) This sentence start with "having invited" (I don't know what's the name of this form, though), combine Finny's invition and his feeling together.
4) I like this sentence because this is a new form for me, and I will try to use it in my writing, instead of always using the same form to express a sentence. (I used to write like "Finny invited me and felt he had to keep me entertained" in this case)
5) My new sentence: Having done my homework, I now felt I need to have myself relaxed for a moment.
Question: Why is it present tense after the word "now" ? Can I say "Having done my homework, I now feel I need to have myself relaxed for a moment" ?

Sentence

My sentence choice- "Because, unfamiliar with the absence of fear and what that was like, I had not been able to identify its presence." Gene said this when he was walking in Devon School.
1) Tuesday, Oct 2, 2007
2) A Separate Peace
3) Sorry, I don't quite sure about what are the comments about the grammar of this sentence. I will be appreciate if you can give me some guides.
4) I spend a lot of time to figue out what this interesting sentence, which I think it's a litte bit confusing and complicated, means. This kind of sentence structure, which I never seen before, caught my eyes when I saw it. I think it's a good way to express what you want to say instead of a simple sentence structure if I can control it.
5) My new sentence: Because, unfamiliar with the look of his old school, he had not been able to identify its new look after rebuilted.

Welcome, every one!!

Hello, my name's Cindy, as you can see. I came in American from China 3 months ago, and this is my second quarter in SCCC.
I enjoy staying here, not only Seattle, but also those place that I have traveled during my summer break, like San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas, Salt Lack City, and 3 National Park(they are so beautiful). Obviously, traveling is one of my hobbits. I also love volleyball(come to me if you like this too, and we guys can form a club of team) and other kinds of sports, which I think is very good for our body to keep a good condition.
I set up this blog mostly because this is a asignment of my AW5 class, but I think keep writing something in here is also a good choice because I can practise my writing and maybe make some new friends in this way.
Hopefully you enjoy this blog!
